The new series, called Sovereign, will see some of the most influential electronic musicians today honoured for their contributions to music. Each event will celebrate a different artist, handpicked by Ministry of Sound’s curated panel of experts, with each DJ headlining an all-night set at the world-famous venue. 

Not only will each headliner take to the stage for a special extended set, but on the night, they’ll also be presented with a bespoke, one-of-a-kind sovereign ring in recognition of their contribution to electronic music.
