Ministry Reschedule Anniversary Tour to 2022, Add Melvins + Corrosion of Conformity

Industrial legends Ministry have rescheduled yet again their U.S. tour in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the landmark The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste album. A new set of dates has just been announced featuring special guests Melvins and Corrosion of Conformity.

Originally KMFDM were scheduled to open alongside Front Line Assembly, but, per a press release, "Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 protocols for visas, travel and vaccine distribution in Germany as well as immigration uncertainty, KMFDM will regrettably not be taking part in this tour." Helmet were later added to the bill to replace KMFDM, but neither Helmet and Front Line Assembly are a part of the tour any longer.

The run is now scheduled to begin March 6 in Baltimore, Md. and end April 18 in Seattle, Wash. and is comprised mostly of the same cities and venues and any changes have been noted in the complete listing at the bottom of the page.

Ministry announced the change via Facebook on Sept. 24:

Out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of the band, fans and venue staff, Ministry’s upcoming tour – scheduled to kick off in October – has been moved to March and April 2022. (the) Melvins and Corrosion Of Conformity will now appear on all show dates as the tour’s special guests. Each show date will celebrate 30 years of Ministry’s landmark album The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste as well as debut new songs from the forthcoming 15th studio album Moral Hygiene, out October 1 via Nuclear Blast Records. Tickets are on sale now with the exception of the St Paul, Montclair and
Huntington dates that will go on sale at 10 am local time on Friday, October 1.
Due to scheduling changes, some of the original show dates have regrettably
been canceled as some venues are not available for this updated time period; as
well, some new show dates have been added. All tickets will be transferred to the
new dates.
