Let’s Get This Show On The Road! 10 Awesome Weekend Events To Beat Those Autumn Blues In Malta
It’s officially the rainy season, but that doesn’t mean you should use it as an excuse to stay inside during the weekends. In fact, we advise the complete opposite. With so much happening at the moment, staying inside would result in a serious case of FOMO… and this is one weekend you don’t want to get caught up with that.
From the Lovin Music Awards to The Grid Sprint, there’s a whole bunch of different things that you should definitely show your face at.
Friday 18th October
1. An album launch party by one of the most promising metal bands on the block
Align The Tide will be launching their debut album Dead Religion under new label Cleopatra Records, and they’ll be doing so in style.
The band will be playing the record in its entirety this coming Friday at The Garage. Expect them to be in full force as they welcome a new chapter in the band’s short but illustrious career.
2. A musical tribute to Queen
We Will Rock You is one of the longest-running musicals on London’s West End and it’s coming to MCC this weekend.
The musical will feature all of Queen’s hits from Radio Gaga to Bohemian Rhapsody, and of course – We Will Rock You.
It will also feature the West End’s Lady Katie Paine as well as an all-star local cast including Francesco Nicodeme, Tez Camilleri, Michela Agius, David Ellul and Edward Mercieca.
3. Versatile in Manoel
Versatile will be hosting their second concert in two months in aid of Dar Bjorn this coming Friday, but this time, they’re taking to Teatru Manoel for a night of Malta’s top artists performing your favourite tunes.
