News: Ministry of Sound TESTAMENT reveals massive 2027 Australian and NZ tour

Ministry of Sound TESTAMENT is heading back to Australian and New Zealand dancefloors in April 2027, and this time it’s packing two decades of club music into one massive night.

The seven-date tour will celebrate the sounds of the 1990s and 2000s, bringing together international DJs and the tracks that defined an era of dance music. Kicking off at Sydney’s White Bay Power Station on April 2, TESTAMENT will travel through Brisbane, Perth, Wellington, Auckland, Melbourne and the Gold Coast.

For the first time, the event will combine its previously separate 90s and 00s sessions into a single party. That means bigger lineups, more international DJs and no more choosing between two nights of music. Organisers have also confirmed ticket prices will remain in line with 2026.

Since launching five years ago, TESTAMENT has grown from a three-night celebration of club culture into a touring fixture, drawing crowds keen to revisit the music that filled dancefloors long before streaming playlists took over.

And there’s plenty of territory to cover. From the rise of house and trance in the 90s to the explosion of electro, progressive house and big-room club sounds in the 2000s, these were decades that transformed dance music into a global force.

The venues are part of the appeal, too. Sydney’s White Bay Power Station provides an industrial backdrop for the opening night, while Melbourne’s Timber Yard, Brisbane’s Superordinary and Auckland’s Shed 10 offer similarly distinctive spaces. Wellington joins the TESTAMENT circuit for the first time, with a show at Meow Nui.

The international DJ lineup remains under wraps for now, with the full announcement scheduled for Thursday 12 November at 12pm AEDT.

With two decades of dance music now packed into one event, TESTAMENT is betting that the appetite for the sounds of the 90s and 00s is as strong as ever.

For anyone who spent their weekends on packed dancefloors during those years, or wishes they had, April offers another chance to experience the music where it belongs: loud, late and surrounded by people.
