Get ready to relive the legend of 90s and 00s club culture with Testament.

Featuring Barbara Tucker, Inner City, Phil Hartnoll, Tall Paul, Stanton Warriors, Goodwill, John Course, Groove Terminator, Mark Dynamix and more.

Ministry of Sound brings Testament to Australia & NZ in August. 7 cities. 11 shows. 2 weekends.

Over the decades, pockets of dimly lit, late night, often secretive locations around the country provided the backdrop to the cathartic ritual of dance. From Australia’s acid house infancy, to the many reinventions of rave. Through the 90s and the peak of 00s nightlife, communities were formed on the dancefloor, cemented over deep 4am conversations had in the safety of a likeminded hive of excitement, escape and elation. This unmatched era of nightlife has become the stuff of folklore and legend.

Testament pays tribute to the sounds and the people of this club generation, and the vibrant late-night cities and cultures across the country which they cultivated.

From August 4 – 13, 2023 the tour will head to Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Auckland. Presented over two specially curated sessions in every city* the first event is dedicated to 90s rave and its many iterations, and the second showcases the heady heydays of 00s club life.
