Context
In August 2025, Ministry arrives at Catton Park with two competing pasts. Months earlier, The Squirrely Years Revisited revisited its synthpop roots. On Saturday at Bloodstock, though, Al Jourgensen sets that reassessment aside and takes the Ronnie James Dio Stage before Machine Head, with industrial heaviness at the forefront.
Thieves leads into The Missing and Deity, drawing the opening stretch from the late-1980s albums. Jourgensen leads a lineup with Cesar Soto and Monte Pittman on guitars, Paul D'Amour on bass, John Bechdel on keyboards and Pepe Clarke Magaña on drums. Goddamn White Trash and Alert Level connect that past with the recent material.
In the final stretch, N.W.O., Just One Fix and Jesus Built My Hotrod form a block of Psalm 69 songs before So What closes the set. The European trip continues to London two days later. The performance receives a full professional recording and remains a precise snapshot of that choice: in a year spent revisiting its roots, Ministry holds to its heavier side.
- N.W.O., Just One Fix and Jesus Built My Hotrod appear in sequence before So What.

Despite the release of The Squirrely Years Revisited in March 2025, no tracks from that album make the Bloodstock set.
