"It's time to herd goats." Ministry announce Goodbye Europe farewell tour, share animated video for Burned Out, the first single from their final album Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)
Ministry is hitting the road one final time. Al Jourgensen has announced the European leg of a farewell world tour, marking the end of a long career for the industrial music pioneers. This tour coincides with the upcoming release of their 17th and final studio album, Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery).
The band recently shared an animated video for their new single Burned Out. The track is a direct critique of global political issues, ranging from government corruption to various humanitarian crises. True to their style, the lyrics address topics like the Epstein files, the state of the American constitution, and ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Sudan.
Fans can expect a final collaboration on the record, as the closing track features a return from long-time songwriting partner and bassist Paul Barker. The album track is titled We’re Still Here, serving as a bookend to their extensive discography.
The Goodbye Europe tour begins on April 2, 2027, in Holland. From there, the band will perform across the continent, including stops in the UK, Germany, France, and Spain, before concluding the run in May. Jourgensen remains clear about his decision to stop, noting his satisfaction with the band's history and his readiness to move on to other pursuits.
