MINISTRY Confirms 25-Date Summer Tour with KMFDM and FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY

Celebrating the milestone 30th anniversary of Ministry’s game-changing album The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste (November 14, 1989, via Sire), the band’s founder-in-chief, Al Jourgensen, has confirmed a special summer trek with old school vets KMFDM and Front Line Assembly.

Dubbed “The Industrial Strength Tour,” the festivities begin in Seattle on July 1 and run through to August 1 when they wrap up things in San Francisco. Tickets go on sale Friday, January 17 at 10 am local time and can be found right here. Fans can find a pre-sale code at www.blabbermouth.net beginning 10 AM local time Tuesday, January 14.

Commenting on the news, Jourgensen said, “The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste just turned 30. Who knew we’d still be around to see this day. But since we are alive and kicking, we figured we’d hop in the way-back machine and recreate the infamous original tour with KMFDM, and add in Front Line Assembly as well. Don’t miss it this time because we’ll be in wheelchairs for sure in another 30 years. May the fence be with you!”
