Ministry announces their final world tour, "C U LaTouR," with Meshuggah and Hemlock. Ministry kicks off the North American leg of "C U LaTouR" in Vancouver on March 28, 2008. Ministry's touring line-up features founder Al Jourgensen, guitarists Tommy Victor (Prong) and Sin Quirin (Revolting Cocks), keyboardist John Bechdel (Prong, AoTW, False Icons), and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso (ex-Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Alice Cooper). Static X's Tony Campos has recently stepped in to fulfill bass on behalf of the recently departed Ministry/Killing Joke bassist Paul Raven. Joining the Ministry clan as Special Featured Artist will be Fear Factory/Ascension of The Watchers vocalist Burton C. Bell.

To coincide with "C U LaTouR," Jourgensen's record label 13th Planet Records is scheduled to release Ministry & Co-Conspirators Cover Up, a 12-track covers album scheduled for a late March/early April 2008 release.

Al Jourgensen says: "A Ministry tour is a traveling circus, 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. We never know who's gonna walk through the dressing room door at sound check. We rehearse a bunch of 'extra' songs just in case so-and-so shows up..."
