MINISTRY To Farewell Australia At Good Things & Side Shows

Attention planet Earth: MINISTRY visionary Al Jourgensen is leaving the building.

With a history built upon 17 studio albums, 8 live releases, 8 side projects, multiple touring campaigns across 5 continents, an autobiography, 2 documentaries, the administration of last rites no less than 3 times, and the countless numbers of devoted acolytes and fans, the aural and charismatic magus of MINISTRY is boarding up the door in his psychic studio for the final time.

Pioneering electronic synth pop coated with abrasive industrial metal terrain, Chicago-hailing heavies MINISTRY defined the industrial world in the mid-to-late 80s with thrashing percussion and neon-soaked distortion, fearlessly helmed by Jourgensen. Poised to release album #17 this October, the band’s upcoming record Hate to Go – Take Out or Delivery will join some of their commercial juggernaut records like 1989’s The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste and 1992’s GRAMMY Award-nominated and platinum-certified Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs.

With their 2026 Good Things Festival appearances also marking their final Australian performances, don’t miss your chance to farewell MINISTRY with a send-off like no other.
