We prove the existence of a family of blow-up solutions of a mean field equation on sphere. The solutions blow up at four points where the minimum value of a potential energy function (involving the Green's function) is attained. The four blow-up points form a regular tetrahedron. Moreover, the solutions we build have a group of symmetry $T_d$ which is isomorphic to the symmetric group $S_4$. Other families of solutions can be similarly constructed with blow-up points at the vertices of equilateral triangles on a great circle or other inscribed platonic solids (cubes, octahedrons, icosahedrons and dodecahedrons). All of these solutions have the symmetries of the corresponding configuration, while they are non-axially symmetric.
