The tour will transform some of Australia’s most breathtaking parklands & botanic gardens into open-air dancefloors, soundtracked by the biggest dance anthems of all time. Ministry of Sound Summer Dance Festival takes over a brand-new home with a highly-anticipated move to Sydney’s premier live music destination, The Domain.
