MINISTRY announces their final world tour, "C U LaTouR," with Special Guests Meshuggah and opening act Hemlock. Ministry kicks off the North American leg of "C U LaTouR" in Vancouver on March 28, 2008, stopping in a limited engagement 33 major market cities through mid-May, ending the U.S. leg in Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen's hometown of Chicago in early May. Ministry then heads off to play the principal European festivals as well as choice club dates beginning late May stretching through to July.

Exclusive limited-time pre-sale tickets for the North American "C U LaTouR," offered by Music Today, go on sale this Thursday, November 15. Exclusive Special Limited Access VIP tickets will also be available for purchase during the pre-sale, offering advance doors, seating, meet & greets and souvenir 13th Planet gift bags. More details regarding the pre-sale will be announced shortly.

The "C U LaTouR" touring line-up features Ministry's founder Al Jourgensen joined onstage by guitarists Tommy Victor (Prong) and Sin Quirin (Revolting Cocks), keyboardist John Bechdel (AoTW, False Icons, ex-Prong), and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso (ex-Megadeth, ex-Suicidal Tendencies, ex-Alice Cooper). Static X's Tony Campos has recently stepped in to fulfill bass duties on behalf of the recently departed Ministry/Killing Joke bassist Paul Raven. Joining the Ministry clan as a Special Featured Artist will be Fear Factory/Ascension of The Watchers vocalist Burton C. Bell. Main support is Swedish experimental metal band Meshuggah and the opening act is the U.S.-based Hemlock.

For its spectacular two-and-a-half-hour "C U LaTouR" set, Ministry will perform tracks from "The Last Sucker" as well as songs that revisit the band's rich and provocative 30-year musical history. Archival Ministry videos plus other visual elements of alchemy, Christianity, politics and other topics aligned with Ministry will be incorporated into a special video presentation, produced by Ministry music video and Wicked Lake feature film director Zach Passero that will change night to night.

As is expected from a Ministry show, you just never know what surprise guests will jump on stage for a song or two. "A Ministry tour is a traveling circus," states Jourgensen. "When we roll into town, everyone hides their daughters, but the freaks roll out the red carpet and a friend or two pops up on stage to add some spice and mayhem to the show. We never know who's gonna walk through the dressing room door at sound check. We rehearse a bunch of 'extra' songs just in case so-and-so shows up..."

Confirmed dates for Ministry's 2008 "C U LaTouR" can be found at the C U LaTouR Page. Additional dates and cities are yet to be announced. The C U LaTouR Page will be updated with more official tour information as things are confirmed so check it often.
