Day of dance music anthems reimagined by a 31-piece orchestra and live vocalists, with The Shapeshifters, Angie Brown and a Pure Garage Stage at Palmer Park.
Ministry of Sound Classical comes to Palmer Park on Friday 11 June 2027, with the day running from 16:00 to 22:30. It's a full-day affair presented by independent promoters Supermodified, whose co-founder Blake McCaskill has called it 'an exciting new chapter' for the company.
The main draw is Ministry of Sound Classical, which reimagines dance music anthems with a 31-piece orchestra, live vocalists and a full sound and light production. They rework 1990s and 2000s floorfillers like Darude's Sandstorm, Dario G's Sunchyme, Faithless's Insomnia and Fatboy Slim's Right Here, Right Now. The Ministry of Sound itself is a London club and music brand that grew out of the house scene of the 1990s, and the Classical series has played the Royal Albert Hall and festivals including Gone Wild, The Big Feastival and Silverstone.
There's more to the day than the orchestral set. The Shapeshifters and Angie Brown are on the bill, and K-Klass and R Voices join them. There's also a Pure Garage Stage featuring Artful Dodger, Scott Garcia, Sticky, Redhot and XS, so if you're more of a UK garage fan than a classical one, there's a dedicated spot for that too.

It all takes place at Palmer Park, a 50-acre green space in the heart of Berkshire that's home to a sports stadium and a velodrome. The day is for ages 16 and over, with under-18s needing to be accompanied by an adult aged 21 or over, and there's no re-entry once you've gone in. It runs from 16:00 to 22:30.
