Ibiza comes to Somerset!
Ministry of Sound Classical have announced they will be coming to Taunton as part of Live in Somerset’s bank holiday weekend

This summer, you don’t have to book that trip to Ibiza… Ibiza will come to you! Ministry of Sound Classical have announced they will be coming to Taunton as part of Live in Somerset’s bank holiday weekend.

Clubs do not come more legendary than Ministry of Sound, and on Sunday 25^th of August 2024, Vivary Park in Taunton will welcome a magnificent 31-piece orchestra for a breathtaking twist on all the iconic Ibiza classics.

The legendary London venue was at the heart of the huge house scene of the 1990s and is still one of the biggest global brands in dance music today. Renowned for sell-out shows worldwide, they have joined forces with talented classical musicians to create a Ministry of Sound take on what an orchestral performance can be.
The spectacular show will include ultimate dance hits from the 90s, such as: The Chemical Brothers – Hey Boy Hey Girl, Dario G – Sunchyme, Faithless – Insomnia, Fatboy Slim – Right Here, Right Now plus many more, delivered like never before.

Sharing the stage with Ministry of Sound Classical are three superb special guests that will be sure to set the mood ahead of the live orchestral experience. First up is international 90’s DJ and producer, Tall Paul, most famous for tracks such as Rock Da House, Let Me Show You, Deeper and Train Of Thought.

Next up is international saxophone player Ellie Sax, who can be found performing at the world’s most exclusive clubs and festivals. Ellie works alongside DJ’s such as N Trance, Marvin Humes and Artful Dodger to bring incredible live performances to the dance music world.

Completing the bill is K-Klass, with 5 UK top 40 hits and a grammy nomination under their belt. The group are best known for anthems such as Rhythm Is A Mystery, Let Me Show You and their remix of Bobby Brown’s Play That Game.

Carlie Davidson, Event Manager at LCC Live (organisers of Live in Somerset) said; “This is something a little bit different for us, but we couldn’t be more excited! Ministry of Sound Classical are known for putting on spectacular shows, with the most incredible lights and sound, and we can’t wait to take that to Vivary Park for the Bank Holiday.”

“Whether you are into orchestral performances or like to spend your summers over in Ibiza at the iconic clubs, I think it’s a little something for everyone.”
