Ministry grew out of Chicago's 1980s industrial scene, and here they play an outdoor hometown show at the Salt Shed's fairgrounds. Louisiana sludge-metal cult band Acid Bath co-headlines, and Richmond doom band Windhand opens. For heavy music in October air, this is the weekend's biggest bill.

What to expect

A loud, dark, three-band evening on the Salt Shed's outdoor lawn beside the old Morton Salt shed on Elston. Dress for an evening outdoors in early October.

Good to know

  • Doors and set times are on the Ticketmaster listing.
  • This is the outdoor Fairgrounds stage, not the indoor Shed.
  • Check the Salt Shed bag policy before you go.

Going? Keep it.
