Ministry of Sound launches Fresher’s House Party Tour with Lab54 and Von Dutch
The legendary London club brings three decades of rave culture straight into student homes across the UK
This September and October, Ministry of Sound is stepping out of the club and into student living rooms with the first-ever Fresher’s House Party Tour. Partnering with pop-up disruptors Lab54 and fashion brand Von Dutch, the South London institution will swap its world-famous dancefloor for kitchens, gardens and lounges in Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, Leeds and Newcastle.
The month-long tour will feature Ministry artists including New Era, Skepsis and Disruptor, alongside yet-to-be-announced special guests. Each stop will transform student digs into immersive party spaces, blending music, fashion and the raw energy of house-party culture.
“Club culture is always shifting,” said Matt Long, Club Director at Ministry of Sound. “This tour is a chance for us to break out of our own four walls and bring that Ministry energy directly to the next generation of ravers.”
With Von Dutch’s newly launched music-focused sub-brand Von Dutch Loves also on board, the tour reflects a spirit of pushing culture forward, bridging the worlds of nightlife and fashion. From DIY beginnings in the early ’90s to today’s global presence, Ministry of Sound continues to reinvent the rave experience — this time by taking it straight to where student nights begin.
