That airing took place this past Tuesday, September 15th, during the Ministry\u2018s show with Acid Bath at the Red Rocks in Morrison, CO. Fan-filmed footage of that setlist return can be seen below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That show also saw former bassist, etc. Paul Barker hit the stage with the group once again, guesting on the \u201cFilth Pig\u201d track \u201cUseless\u201c, which the group and Barker gave a live debut to earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ministry are set to launch their final studio album \u201cHate To Go \u2013 Take Out Or Delivery\u201d on October 30th. Earlier today, September 18th, they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprp.com\/2026\/09\/17\/news\/ministry-debut-singularity-as-the-third-single-from-their-upcoming-farewell-album\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">debuted their new track \u201cSingularity\u201c<\/a> from it. Interestingly, while much was made of Barker also being involved in that swan song record, he is only credited as participating in one of the featured tracks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further Ministry live performances amid the initial legs of their farewell touring include:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">09\/20 Louisville, KY \u2013 Louder Than Life<br \/>10\/03 Chicago, IL \u2013 Salt Shed (feat.
