Ministry are to release their brand-new, 16th studio album, Hopiumforthemasses, on March 1, 2024. The band have also announced a Spring 2024 North American Tour with support from Gary Numan and Front Line Assembly. The tour will contain 29 dates, and it will start off on February 27 in San Francisco. The tour will end on April 5 in Tucson.
Ministry mastermind and creator Al Jourgensen shares his thoughts:
“So looking forward to doing another tour with Gary and the gang. We had such a blast the last time. The shows were amazing. Each band complements the other perfectly. Plus, both of our new releases are kick ass! Get your tickets, and come join us.”
Ministry have also announced details for Hopiumforthemasses. The album will be released through Nuclear Blast Records. The band have also released a brilliant video for their first single, “Goddamn White Trash,” featuring Pepper Keenan.
