NightHoursLast entry Friday and Saturday club nights22:30 to 05:0003:00, no re-entry Saturday day parties13:00 or 14:00 to 22:00 or 22:30Set per event New Year's Eve21:00 to 05:00Set on the ticket ## How to read this programme Nights marked **on sale** are on the club's own listing, with times and ticket tiers. Nights marked **announced** come from the programme the club announced in September, as printed by TheFestivals.UK and The Partae; they had no ticket page at the time of writing, so treat them as provisional. Where the two disagree, I have gone with the ticket listing: the Nukleuz 30th birthday on 5 December, printed as a night, is a 13:00 to 22:00 day party on the club's page. ## October: after the birthday The 35th birthday weekend on 2 and 3 October opened the season: Andy C for three hours, Kerri Chandler and Moodymann at Hard Times, Loco Dice at URGE.

Nothing was listed for New Year's Day 2027 at the time of writing; last year the club ran House of Peach from 14:00 to 22:00 on 1 January. Across the river, fabric's answer to the bank holiday is Joseph Capriati on Monday 28 December, 23:00 to 07:00. The rest of London's New Year is in the NYE 2026 guide, and the month across both cities is in the December 2026 club calendar. ## The four I would book 1. **Armand Van Helden, 28 November.** A house producer whose 90s records still fill floors, in a room rebuilt this year for exactly that. If I only went once this winter, this is the night. 2. **Garage Nation, 31 October.** DJ Luck & MC Neat and Scott Garcia in the afternoon: UK garage from the people who made it, under £21, last entry 17:30, and you are out in time for a Halloween night somewhere else. 3. **Lilly Palmer, 7 November.** The listing sells it as techno coming to Ministry, which tells you how rarely the club books it. A new system is best judged on music it was not built around. 4. **Smoove, Boxing Day.** Once it goes on sale. Boxing Day at Ministry is a regulars' night, and the regulars are the reason to go. ## FAQ **What is on at Ministry of Sound in November 2026?** Matisse & Sadko on 6 November; Clockwork Orange and Lilly Palmer on 7 November; Juany Bravo on 13 November; Audiowhore on 14 November; Blink with Aaron Sevilla on 20 November; Robbie Doherty, announced, on 21 November; and Chris Watson then Armand Van Helden on 28 November. **When is Armand Van Helden at Ministry of Sound?** Saturday 28 November 2026, 22:30 to 05:00.
