The online art festival will showcase a selection of musicians, dance performances, DJs and performance artists hailing from both Malta and the international scene.

This being a Facebook Live event, “attendance” is free, but people are encouraged to donate through a crowdfunding page.

Donators will receive an art print of the festival poster, a postcard or even a spinning seal, depending on how much they donate.

Local staple acts Sam Christie, The New Victorians and Oxygyn are some who will be gracing the virtual stage.

And if electronic music is more your thing, watch Lockdown’s space for a lofi-techno treat to be announced tomorrow as their international headliner. 

The initiative is a collaborative project by three creatives, who, working in the arts sector, can personally attest to the impact of mass cancellations amidst coronavirus outbreak.

Dancer and performing artist Zoe Camillieri, Kiet Bonnici (artist behind the festival’s graphics) and Vegard Flatøy, who is definitely no stranger to organising festivals, are also taking helm of the online performance extravaganza.

“We wish to give people live experiences while providing a stage for the artists, they said in a statement. “We also think it’s important to fill people’s Facebook feeds with something positive, a break from the current situation.”
