Isle of MTV Malta
Isle of MTV is now in its 22nd year and to call it a highlight of Malta’s festival calendar would be an understatement. Routinely attracting the biggest names in entertainment (Mark Ronson, Chemical Brothers, Paloma Faith and The Chainsmokers are just some of the chart- topping artists to have attended) it’s also Europe’s largest free festival. This year, Nelly Furtado, DJ Snake and Raye are headlining the one night only event on the 16th July, which begins around 3pm and ends before midnight. Stick around for the rest of MTV Malta Music Week, which features endless club nights and parties at various locations across the island.

Abode on the Rock
Gozo, Malta’s little sister, should not be underestimated. From the 20-24 June, club nights, villa parties and boat parties spring up as part of the Abode on the Rock festival. This year, the artist line up is as strong as ever, with Danny Howard, Enzo Is Burning and Gaskin just some of the plethora of talent due to hit the decks. The venues are a highlight too. La Grotta is well known across the island as Gozo’s most popular nightclub. Set on the downslope of the Xlendi valley, its picturesque surrounds belie a heady interior where club-fans dance way late into the night. There’s also a villa party at a palatial multi-level, property with its own pool. What more could you want?

Malta Jazz Festival
A different kind of music descends on the capital in July, when some of the most renowned exponents of the jazz genre fill out the three-day Malta Jazz Festival. The traditional venue is waterfront Ta’ Liesse on the outskirts of Valletta, but for 2024, the opening event will take place at the Grand Hotel Excelsior and be led by the Gianluca Figliola Trio. Over the three days, various other artists will play in venues including the City Theatre, Offbeat and Spazju Kreattiv. Expect big names. Previous guests include Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Joe Zawinul. Buy tickets and find out more here.
