Driven by an incredible lineup of influential global pioneers, TESTAMENT is a deep dive into the music, people and movements that defined proper clubbing. From Australia’s acid house infancy, through the reinventions of rave in the 90s, to the peak of 00s nightlife.

Ministry of Sound TESTAMENT 2026 brings together a generational lineup of international icons whose influence is etched into the DNA of modern club life, alongside a powerful local lineup in every city — honouring the artists who didn’t just soundtrack an era, but shaped it.
