London's legendary Ministry of Sound is throwing itself a proper birthday party this October, celebrating 34 years at the heart of UK nightlife with a massive rave. And they're not messing about with the lineup: New York house icon Armand Van Helden is headlining, joined by Olive F, Paisley Jensen, and more names to be announced.

The club, which opened its doors in 1991, has been shaping London's dance culture ever since, and this year's milestone party lands on Saturday 4 October. 2025 has already been a big year for Ministry, with the launch of in-house party brands like Smoove, URGE, and Disco Daddy, plus a new mezzanine concept that ditches the old-school VIP model for something fresher (and even includes a sober rave space and mocktail bar).

Don't skip this one, it's shaping up to be one of the biggest club nights of the year.
