Sandown Park Nights has announced that legendary DJ JUDGE JULES will join Ministry of Sound Classical as special guest on Friday 24th July at Sandown Park Racecourse.
Judge Jules is one DJ that has been there, done that and done it all again, and for almost four decades has led the way in the world of dance music. Since hitting the decks in 1987, he has influenced an entire generation as a pioneer of the club scene; passion and persona coupled with crowd connection and unrivalled mixing has earned Judge Jules unforgettable sets at the world’s most iconic clubs and festivals including Gatecrasher, Ministry of Sound, Global Gathering and Creamfields.
Earning his place amongst DJ legends, Judge Jules has received accolades such as #1 DJ (Mixmag), Best International DJ (Dancestar Awards), Best Radio DJ (Smirnoff’s Dancestars), and has consistently featured in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll, peaking at #3 in the world, alongside the industry’s greatest.
Ministry of Sound classical is a live concert-format production that takes iconic dance and club music and re-orchestrates them. Celebrating more than 30 years of iconic dance anthems, the 2026 edition marks the show’s most exciting performance yet, with the power of an orchestra and sensational vocalists, all set to a stunning laser light production.
Judge Jules said: “I have been a part of Ministry Classical shows before at the Royal Festival Hall and The O2 and I've done some marvellous venues that I’d never imagined. If you add the right records to an orchestration, and the magic of an orchestra to an amazing outdoor venue like Sandown Park Racecourse, I think it's a really magical combination”.
