Ministry of Sound: Testament 2023
Ministry of Sound is spending two huge nights throwing 90s and 00s parties.
Overview
Maybe you lived through the 90s rave scene. Perhaps you spent every weekend enjoying club life in the 00s. Or, you might just wish you were old enough to have ticked both boxes. Ministry of Sound was around to see both, and now it's revisiting the experience — bringing back its massive Testament parties for another year, this time touring them around Australia over two weekends.
If cutting loose like you've travelled back in time is your ideal way to mark absolutely anything, then you'll want to make a date with Testament when it hits up Brisbane. For two nights on Friday, August 4 and Saturday, August 12, the event will have you making shapes to 90s and 00s bangers in Warner Laneway.
It's a choose-your-own-adventure type of affair, so fans of old-school tunes can hit up the session dedicated to 90s house, rave, trance and garage tracks, and lovers of 00s electro and breaks get their own shindig.
Leading the bill at the 90s party are Barbara Tucker, Inner City, Phil Hartnoll and Tall Paul, while The Bloody Beetroots, Digitalism, Freq Nasty and Stanton Warriors are their 00s counterparts.
On the Brisbane-specific leg of the national tour, Barking Boy, Darren Briais, Jen E, John Course, Mark Dynamix, Matt Kitshon and Rousey are also on the 90s bill. Fleshing out the 00s: Goodwill, Groove Terminator, Jaime Doom from Bang Gang Deejays, Kid Kenobi, Matt Nugent, Rasp, Shredlock, Skool of Thought and Chris Wilson.
