For the first time we welcome the industrial metal legends MINISTRY to the Reload Festival! The band from Chicago, Illinois, has revolutionized the music world with their unique blend of heavy guitar riffs, electronic sounds and critical lyrics.

MINISTRY have been an unstoppable force since the 80s. With Al Jourgensen’s unmistakable voice and brute live shows, they inspire countless fans worldwide. Their music is gripping and rousing, their songs like “Thieves” are anthems that are celebrated in the scene. As visionaries of their time, MINISTRY have significantly shaped and developed the genre of industrial metal.

And their songs are not just musical high-flyers: the socio-critical themes in their lyrics are profound and political. They deliver a blunt message that will shake you up and make you think.

Look forward to an unforgettable experience when MINISTRY take to the stage in Sulingen for the first time and transform the Reload Festival 2025 into a true metal temple. This show will be an absolute highlight that you can’t afford to miss!
