Ministry of Sound Classical will head to Aberdeen’s P&J Live on Saturday 3rd October 2026 with a spectacular live experience that reimagines the world’s most iconic dance anthems in a way audiences have never heard before.
This is not a DJ set. Ministry of Sound Classical fuses the energy of club culture with the power and precision of a breathtaking 30-piece orchestra, alongside top DJs, stunning vocalists, and an immersive sound and light show. The result is a bold, euphoric celebration of dance music history, transformed into a truly cinematic live performance.
Few names carry as much weight in global dance culture as Ministry of Sound. Born in London during the explosive house music scene of the 1990s, the legendary club has become one of the most recognisable brands in electronic music worldwide. Now, Ministry of Sound Classical takes that unmistakable legacy and redefines what an orchestral performance can be.
Audiences are taken on a journey through the biggest dance tracks of the 90s and beyond, re-orchestrated and re-imagined for a classical ensemble. Expect spine-tingling new arrangements of era-defining anthems including Darude – Sandstorm, Dario G – Sunchyme, Faithless – Insomnia, Fatboy Slim – Right Here, Right Now, and many more — all delivered with explosive energy and emotional depth.
Ministry of Sound Classical has already cemented its reputation as one of the most exciting live music concepts in the UK and beyond. The show has sold out the iconic Royal Albert Hall and headlined major festivals including Gone Wild Festival, The Big Feastival, and Silverstone Festival, earning acclaim for its innovation, scale, and unforgettable atmosphere.
Blending club classics with orchestral grandeur, Ministry of Sound Classical invites audiences to step away from the ordinary and immerse themselves in something truly extraordinary — where dancefloor euphoria meets symphonic brilliance.
Rob Wicks, Managing Director at P&J Live in Aberdeen, said: “We are delighted to have secured The Ministry of Sound’s first show at our venue. This show goes beyond a traditional concert, bringing the defining tracks of dance music’s golden era to life in a powerful, high-energy performance that promises an unforgettable night for all dance music fans.”
