Ministry of Sound has announced a brand new lockdown festival, ‘Ministry Weekender’, with a host of big names in dance music attached.
Set to take place on 29-30 May, the digital event will feature live streams and audio sets from artists including Diplo, DJ EZ, Pete Tong, Solardo, Paul Woolford, Waze & Odyssey, MK, Sigala, and more.

Also set to perform at the event this weekend is London-based producer and DJ India Jordan. In a recent five-star review of their second EP ‘For You’, NME wrote: “âFor Youâ is 2020âs most joyous release so far, full of beaming rave weapons and would-be summer festival anthems landing at the perfect time. But at its vulnerable heart, Indiaâs largest body of work to date is as much a love letter to themselves.”
‘Ministry Weekender’ is due to take place May 29 and May 30 – get notified when the stream is live here and check out the full line-up below.
