MINISTRY OF SOUND, ALPHA INDUSTRIES AND CHEMICAL X REUNITE TO CREATE 35 LIMITED EDITION BOMBER JACKETS

The signed and numbered jackets launch exclusively at Dover Street Market during Frieze Week

Ministry of Sound has reunited with Alpha Industries and artist Chemical X for a limited-edition bomber jacket that brings together three names connected by the club’s history. Launching at Dover Street Market during Frieze Week, the special edition comprises just 35 hand-numbered and signed jackets, available exclusively in the London store. 

In 1991, Ministry of Sound commissioned Alpha Industries to produce MA-1 bomber jackets for its doormen, featuring the now-iconic logo designed by artist Chemical X. Never available to buy, the jackets became closely associated with the club and a sought-after piece of its early identity.

“If you were wearing one, you were part of the club, and because you couldn’t buy one, people wanted them even more.” - Alpha Industries

More than three decades later, Ministry of Sound has reunited with Alpha Industries and Chemical X to revisit the original design through a limited-edition release of 35 bomber jackets. Each jacket features bespoke embroidery by Chemical X, drawing on the evolution of the Ministry of Sound logo, and is individually signed and numbered. The collection launches exclusively at Dover Street Market during Frieze Week.

The launch coincides with the release of Ministry of Sound (Anthology), a new book by author and creative director Simon Moore, published by Rizzoli New York. Documenting the club’s first 35 years, the book brings together first-hand accounts from founders, DJs, dancers, designers and staff, alongside previously unpublished photography and an archive of flyers, records, tickets and other ephemera.

Landing alongside the bomber and book, Moore has designed a series of T-shirts drawing on ephemera from the club’s storied history. Graphics include a pre-opening business card bearing the club’s working title, a flyer for a mid-1990s three-city Japan tour that included Tokyo’s Liquid Room, and the operating manual for the Urei rotary mixer installed when Ministry first opened. The material comes from the personal collections of founder Justin Berkmann and former resident DJ CJ Mackintosh. The T-shirts are available online and in store at both Ministry of Sound and Dover Street Market.

The limited-edition bomber jackets are available exclusively at Dover Street Market for £275.

JOHN SUMMIT ANNOUNCES BIGGEST EUROPEAN HEADLINE TOUR TO DATE

The CTRL ESCAPE arena production comes to Europe in February 2027, including headline shows at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome, Paris’ Zénith and a highly-anticipated return to London’s O2 Arena.

John Summit will bring his CTRL ESCAPE arena tour to Europe in February 2027, announcing his most expansive headline run across the continent to date.  Tickets go on sale on Friday, October 9th at 12 pm local, with artist presale beginning Wednesday, October 7th at 10 am local. Fans can register for artist presale access at: www.johnsummitmusic.com/ctrl-escape-tour-uk-eu. 

The tour will visit major venues in Warsaw, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Cologne, Zürich, Paris and London, marking a new milestone in Summit’s rise from underground clubs to sold-out arenas around the world. The dates include headline performances at COS Torwar, Forest National, Ziggo Dome, UFO im Velodrom, Palladium, Halle 622 and Zénith Paris, alongside a full-capacity return to London’s O2 Arena. Further European dates will be announced soon. 

Developed for Summit’s largest headline venues yet, the CTRL ESCAPE show combines an ambitious new stage production with music from his 2026 album and the high-energy, genre-fluid performances that have defined his global rise.

The European announcement follows the kickoff to Summit’s biggest North American headline run to date, with the CTRL ESCAPE arena tour to travel across the United States and Canada throughout the final months of 2026. The tour launched last week at the State Farm Center, University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois—Summit’s alma mater.

The announcement also follows a major European chapter for Summit. During the summer of 2026, he launched his first-ever Ibiza residency at [UNVRS], bringing his Experts Only concept to the club across nine consecutive Mondays. He also played headline shows in Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Hamburg, alongside appearances at Tomorrowland’s Mainstage, Ultra Europe, Nameless Festival and an Experts Only takeover at Tofte Manor in the UK.

Summit also recently brought Experts Only Festival NYC back to Randall’s Island for its highly successful second edition. Following a debut that welcomed 50,000 people across two days in 2025, the festival’s return further established Experts Only as one of dance music’s leading artist-led platforms, bringing together major names and emerging talent in the heart of New York City.

John Summit is one of the most in-demand names in global dance music. The superstar DJ, producer, and label owner has amassed over a billion global streams, scored two #1 U.S. dance radio hits, and landed eight Top 10 tracks on the Billboard Hot Electronic/Dance Songs chart. Known for his explosive live shows, Summit consistently sells out major venues worldwide, from a lightning-fast, under-two-hour sellout at New York City’s Madison Square Garden to three packed nights at L.A.’s Kia Forum and a headline date at BMO Stadium. His global rise continued with a debut at London’s O2 Arena, followed by a sold-out year-ending performance at Folsom Field that drew 38,000 fans, and the launch of his groundbreaking Experts Only Festival NYC—a two-day event that brought 50,000 people to Randall’s Island in September 2025. John Summit will make his Ibiza residency debut later this year, headlining nine Mondays at [UNVRS] for his first-ever residency on the island. He’ll then return stateside for a hometown headline performance at Lollapalooza. Whether commanding an arena or an underground club, the Chicago native (now based in Miami) brings his signature high-octane energy to every set. 

Behind the scenes, Summit is a meticulous and thoughtful artist. Formerly a CPA by day and music tutor by night, he now spends long hours in the studio crafting dynamic, emotionally resonant tracks. As a touring artist, he’s headlined festivals around the world, including the Sahara Stage at Coachella 2024, and produced unforgettable events in unique locations — from the hills of Tennessee to snowy takeovers in Vail, Colorado, and Tahoe, Nevada — all under the banner of his label, Experts Only. Founded in pursuit of complete creative freedom, Experts Only is a global movement built on the principle of music without limits — blending house, techno, melodic, and everything in between. Summit’s global hits like “Where You Are” (feat. HAYLA), “Human” (feat. Echoes), and “Go Back” with Sub Focus (feat. Julia Church) reflect that ethos. He has also been recognized for his impact in the dance music genre through nominations Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, and iHeartRadio Music Awards nominations. 

On July 12, 2024, he released his debut album Comfort In Chaos. Exploring themes of vice and virtue, highs and lows, and the duality of the human experience, the album reveals the man behind the icon — pairing Summit’s signature dancefloor energy with raw emotion and introspection. Building on this duality, Summit released his subsequent album CTRL ESCAPE on April 15th – reframing that tension through a new lens: the clash between 9–5 monotony and the electric release of the rave. Sonically and visually tracing Summit’s path from accountant to artist, the project positions music not just as an escape, but as a communal force—where collective euphoria becomes both rebellion and belonging. This Fall he is set to embark on a North American CTRL ESCAPE arena tour, marking his biggest headline run to date.
