Al Jourgensen confirmed early last month that the reactivated Ministry was going tour behind their new album Relapse next year. And now we know when exactly the band will be heading to the States.

Staying true to his word, Ministry’s 2012 U.S. tour will only include five dates (two of which are in Chicago). This is partly due to their European commitments and because Jourgensen’s recent health scare has forced him to tour less. The band has said in a press release that they will not be playing anymore U.S. cities in 2012 (then again, Jourgensen also promised that Ministry was done for good, and look at what happened 3 years later).

A pre-sale for Ministry Facebook fans and e-store customers will happen on September 16 at 10am venue time, one week prior to the public on-sale September 23rd. Tickets can be purchased online. Check out the entire rundown of Ministry’s 2012 Relapse tour down below.
