Later this summer, Ministry will be touring with shock rockers Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie, as well as Filter, for the latest leg of the ‘Freaks on Parade’ Tour. Yet if you plan on catching that show, you very likely won’t see Roy Mayorga behind the kit during Ministry’s set, as he announced earlier today that he was stepping back to tour with Jerry Cantrell around the same time.
In a statement released today, Mayorga told fans that he was “taking [a] break” from Ministry “for a while.” He did, however, say he would be coming back but didn’t say when.
“Super excited to announce that I’ll be hitting the road this Summer with @jerrycantrell supporting @bush for their “Loaded greatest hits” tour. Which means I’ll be taking break from “MINISTRY” for a while, but I shall return at some point.
“Look forward to rocking out with you all Summer.”
Lately, Ministry’s been working on what’s supposed to be their final album and follow-up to this year’s HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES.
Jerry Cantrell will be touring the U.S. with Bush and Candlebox starting on July 26 and going until September 15. Ministry will be touring on the ‘Freaks on Parade’ tour from August 20 until September 18. You can find dates and ticket links for both tours below.
