The C U LaTour lineup features Ministry founder Al Jourgensen, guitarists Tommy Victor (Prong) and Sin Quirin (Revolting Cocks), keyboardist John Bechdel (Prong, AoTW, False Icons) and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso (Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Alice Cooper). Static-X‘s Tony Campos will step to take the place of late Ministry/Killing Joke bassist Paul Raven and special featured artist for the tour is Fear Factory/Ascension of The Watchers vocalist Burton C. Bell.

Jourgensen promises a two-and-a-half hour set filled with songs from The Last Sucker, Ministry hits and some surprises.

“A Ministry tour is a traveling circus,” Jourgensen said. “When we roll into town, everyone hides their daughters, but the freaks roll out the red carpet and a friend or two pops up on stage to add some spice and mayhem to the show.”
