Ministry of Sound marked a major milestone, celebrating its 34th birthday with a sold-out party headlined by house pioneer, Armand Van Helden.
The four-room celebration saw the South London club packed to the rafters, with electrifying sets from rising stars Olive F and Paisley Jensen, alongside the legendary headliner. Pre-sale tickets sold out in record time, with over 70% snapped up in advance—underlining the club’s enduring power to unite dance music lovers from across the globe.
2025 has been a defining year for Ministry. Kicking off with the launch of new in-house club brands, including URGE and Disco Daddy, the club has continued to innovate while staying true to its roots. Over the summer, the venue completed its most significant renovation in over a decade, transforming its VIP offering with the launch of the No Velvet Rope Society, a reimagined membership concept designed for a new generation of clubbers.
Ministry also introduced a sober raving experience in response to shifting nightlife habits, featuring a curated mocktail menu, low-alcohol beers, and CBD serves. In April, the now-viral Toilet Takeover in partnership with Lab54 turned the women’s toilets into an unannounced rave, amassing over 20 million views on social media and reaffirming Ministry’s reputation for bold, unforgettable moments.
With 34 years behind it, Ministry is already setting the stage for its monumental 35th anniversary in 2026. Plans include a major refurbishment and expanding the club’s global footprint.
