Front Line Assembly, Gary Numan, and Ministry were all in rare form. Great show at a classic Chicago venue. Shout out to the crew as well. Lighting, media, and audio were spot on. The audio mix was particularly phenomenal. If anyone is considering catching any of the remaining dates for this tour, you will not be disappointed.

Personally, my friend & I attended for Gary Numan - we weren't familiar with Ministry. Gary delivered! Absolutely mesmerizing - a true rock star through & through! We knew it was Gary's birthday, and like others we occasionally blurted out birthday wishes throughout his set. To make the night even more special was when crew and other band members stopped the show and presented Gary with a birthday cake and the entire room sang Gary Happy Birthday! As this impromptu moment wrapped up, the entire place shouted out "Gary, Gary, Gary..." in unison. Truly a rock & roll event that will go down as a lifelong musical moment & memory for the rest of our days! Super special.
Opener Front Line Assembly gained two new fans in us. They really rocked the place with their hard edged, beat pounding numbers - and the audience obviously ate it up with constant applause, dancing and shouts of praise & appreciation. We did stay for a couple of tunes from Ministry who were obviously very tight, but for my friend were just too loud... I thought decibel limitations were in place in the music industry?? The decibel levels reminded me of Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood Tour that left me with ringing ears for 3 weeks and some mild-ish permanent hearing damage... so I left with my friend... I was a bit disappointed but I gave in and we continued on our way into the night. But we had seen our man...our headliner, and that was Gary! Happy birthday, man! Truly a night to remember. 🥳🥳

Great show! Ministry kicked ass as always but it was cool to see Gary Numan and Frontline Assembly. Frontline had some killer visuals for physcidelic concert goers. All these bands are in their later years but they don't play like it. Same energy as 30yrs ago. Get your Ministry shirts early. I waited till end of show to get mine and they were all sold out.

About Ministry
Born in 1981 in Chicago, Ministry has been the lifetime passion project of founder Al Jourgensen, considered to be the pioneer of industrial music. In its early days, Ministry was identifiable by its heavy synth-pop material in line with the new sounds and technology that were being developed in the ‘80s. Ministry’s output began with four 12” singles on Wax Trax! Records in 1981 before the first LP With Sympathy in 1983 via Arista Records. As time progressed however, so did Ministry, quickly developing a harsher, and more stylized sound that the band soon became infamous for on seminal albums Twitch (1986), The Land of Rape and Honey (1988), and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste (1989). With the release of Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and The Way to Suck Eggs (1992), Ministry hit an all-time high in the mainstream musical realm and received its first Grammy nomination. In total, Ministry has been nominated for a Grammy award six times. Eight more albums would follow before an indefinite break in 2013, only to be unearthed again in 2018 with AmeriKKKant and Moral Hygiene in 2021. Ministry continues touring and recording with the brand-new forthcoming 16th studio album HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES out March 1, 2024.
