Pride, Parties And Pulp Fiction: Here’s How The Second Weekend Of September Is Shaping Up In Malta
This weekend is a big one, mainly because Malta will be celebrating Pride with its annual march in Valletta on Saturday and we’ve got a super cool #LovinLollipop Pride float in the mix.
It’s also a big one because Malta has some big (and I mean really big) Hollywood stars coming to the island for a one-off Q&A session before they film their latest project here.
On top of that, there are some super cool parties happening this weekend ranging from hardcore techno to blues rock and 80s classics.
So if you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, give one of these events a shot!
Friday 13th September
1. An exclusive day event at a beach venue
Dazed & Confused is back for an exclusive day event at 1926 Beach Club in Sliema featuring one of the hottest Maltese DJs of the summer, Dean Demanuele and F//asco.
2. Blues in Gozo
Blues-rock act Pebble Beach will be making an appearance over at Gozo’s favourite live music venue this weekend for an electric set at St Joseph’s square.
3. A rock and electronic calamity from the infinite space
Coming off the back of a killer release, Lucy’s Last will be descending upon Rumours, Pietà for a set of electric sonic stimulation alongside fellow synthesiser stoners Shlamizard.
Earlier that night a calamity descended from the infinite space. It’s up to two local bands to hype things up and send it back whence it came.
Now that’s how you market your event.
4. Confetti and a crazy party
Barcelona-born mega-brand Elrow is bringing its crazy, hedonistic parties to Uno this weekend featuring Nic Fanciulli, the Mambo Brothers, Tony Varga and many more. Hold on to your feathered headdress; it’s going to be a big one with even bigger prizes in store.
5. Spicing up Pride week…
…is none other than Lollipop!
This time, they’re taking a break from all the sugar and spicing things up with all the gay anthems and bangers you could ever hope for. Don’t forget to dress up as your favourite pop/gay icon and take full advantage of the photo and glitter booth.
And of course, we’ll be seeing you there!
