“’The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste’ just turned 30. Who knew we’d still be around to see this day,” says Ministry’s creator Al Jourgensen. “But since we are alive and kicking, we figured we’d hop in the way-back machine and recreate the infamous original tour with KMFDM, and add in Front Line Assembly as well. Don’t miss it this time because we’ll be in wheelchairs for sure in another 30 years. May the fence be with you!”
The Industrial Strength Tour will kick off July 1 in Seattle and wrap up August 1 in San Francisco. The 25-date trek will celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste album that was released in November 1989, featuring hit singles “Thieves,” “Burning Inside” and “So What.”
The Industrial Strength Tour comes after a memorable 2019, where Ministry joined Slayer on the band’s final dates of its Farewell World Tour. Ministry also released a new fully authorized limited-edition visual history book, “Ministry:Prescripture.”
