Ministry Announces Final Album ‘Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)’ and Farewell Tour

Industrial metal pioneers Ministry have announced that their 17th studio album, Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery), will be released on 30 October via Cleopatra Records. The record, which includes the first single “Burned Out”, features ten tracks and a closing collaboration with longtime associate Paul Barker on “We’re Still Here”. Physical formats will include vinyl, CD, cassette and special deluxe editions. Founder Al Jourgensen said, “I’m fucking done… It’s time to herd goats,” confirming the band’s decision to end its four‑decade career.

The band also revealed a farewell world tour. A European leg kicks off in April 2027 with Die Krupps as guests, followed by a North American run and additional dates in the United States this year at venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Chicago’s Salt Shed. Possible Australian shows have been hinted at for later in 2024.
