From Rock N Roll To Silent Disco: This Last Weekend Of September In Malta Is Packed With Exciting Events
The last month of the summer season is coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a few more nights out before the gloom and doom of October kicks in.
This weekend, we welcome back the highly-anticipated and well-established Rockestra, as well the beginning of what sounds like an awesome idea, The Silent Disco Festival. In fact, this whole weekend seems to be dedicated to the world of rock n’ roll, from Latvian pagan metal to blues-rock and everything in between.
But of course we included some techno & electronic gigs in there as well as a US-inspired frat party for all you jocks out there!
Check out all there is to do around Malta this weekend and get planning.
Friday 27th September
1. Latvian Pagan Metal at The Garage
Traditional Baltic Folk music meets Norwegian inspired black metal in the form of Skyforger, a Latvian metal band who will be performing this weekend at The Garage alongside local metal acts Grotium and Animamortua.
2. Not your typical festival…
.. in that, this is a completely noise-free festival, and by that I mean it’s a silent disco festival.
Rock The South’s silent disco is now becoming a full-fledged festival with three full channel headphones pumping reggae, rock, dance, electronic, hip hop (and everything in between) into those tiny little ears of yours.
3. Jazz-tastic!
Il-Gazin never fails to deliver on some good old jazz and that’s why we’re giving them some extra love and encouraging all you cool cats to enjoy a night of great music at this super Maltese venue!
4. Pebble Beach at Beer Cave
… now say that 10x faster.
Local blues-rock act Pebble Beach will be rockin out at the Beer Cave this weekend for an evening of blues, funk, rock, jazz accompanied with some great beer on tap too.
5. Techno at Tigullio’s
Discover the world of experimental frequencies and colourfull grooves that techno has to offer over at Tigulio’s this Friday featuring Milos Bogdanovic, Junior Green and Seekeer.
