Ministry of Sound Summer Dance Festival returns to Kings Park & Botanic Garden with an updated CLASSICAL show for two dates in 2026. Each festival has a unique support DJ lineup, promising a full-blown day-to-night celebration.

Both events are headlined by CLASSICAL performed live by the Ministry of Sound Orchestra. Friday 11 December features UK electronic pioneers Utah Saints (UK), known for “Something Good” and "What Can You Do For Me", alongside K-Klass (UK), whose anthems “Let Me Show You” and “Rhythm Is a Mystery” helped define 90s house. Joining them is DJ Paulette (UK), a legendary Haçienda resident and one of the UK’s most respected selectors.

Your Sunday 13 December house session is led by Grammy-winning DJ Roger Sanchez (USA), alongside Seb Fontaine (UK) – a defining voice of UK club culture known for BBC Radio 1, Ministry of Sound mixes and Cream residency, French touch pioneers Braxe + Falcon (FR), known for their connection to Stardust and releases on Roule, bring their signature sound, with local favourite Micah opening both shows. This is a celebration of the greatest moments in dance music history and the artists who helped define our dancefloor; redefined, reworked and reimagined on a scale like never before.

This year brings the highly requested launch of our brand-new VIP Deck Experience. Enjoy access to an exclusive private viewing area in front of the stage with plenty of space to dance the afternoon away, a private bar, complimentary drinks on arrival, VIP express check-in with a dedicated host, dedicated VIP bathrooms and a commemorative tour laminate.

All of your favourites still remain, including early entry options, lawn dancefloors, curated bars, plenty of space and the much loved deck area in front of the stage.

These events are always in high demand and are expected to sell out.Do not miss your chance to experience Ministry of Sound celebrating 35 years as the global authority in dance music
