Rock’N Malta 2025 Fund Applications Now Open
The Minister for the Arts, Owen Bonnici, has announced the opening of applications for the Rock’N Malta 2025 fund, which allocates a total of €300,000.
This fund is part of the extensive portfolio of Festivals Malta, aimed at providing financial support and organisational guidance to artists, organisers and promoters of rock music events and its subgenres.
“This fund helps to enhance our country’s cultural and musical environment in the rock genre. The allocated funds offer valuable support to those working in the rock music field, and I am pleased that this programme has continued to strengthen over the years. We are committed to continuing our support for artists and organisers to improve the quality of cultural events in Malta,” stated Minister Bonnici.
The Minister added that over the years, Rock’N Malta has benefitted various local events such as Rock the South, Dark Malta, Earth Garden, Għaxaq Music Festival and more, as well as concerts by artists like Lordi, Anastasia, Dream Theatre, Steve Hackett, and others.
“Through Rock’N Malta, Festivals Malta reaches a wider audience than our usual festivals. With this fund, we continue to invest in the rock genre and will keep working to give more importance to this highly popular musical sector in our country,” Festivals Malta CEO, Frans Agius, explained.
During the press conference, the new Rock’N Malta brand was also unveiled. “We felt it important to give a more vibrant identity to the initiative, not only to make the brand more appealing but also to better represent the rock genre,” concluded Mr. Agius.
Applications for the Rock’N Malta 2025 fund close on 20th September 2024.
