A Festival of Gratitude and Inspiration features an eclectic mix of musical acts all of whom will be performing live on the 3rd of May starting from 9 pm.
The festival features some familiar faces as well as new ones too who have yet to make their debut outside the realms of X-Factor…

“I am very excited that we can help raise the spirits of the people of Malta and to express our gratitude to all the front liners,” said Ira Losco.
“Through this concert, we will raise awareness of all the fantastic work that is being performed by voluntary organisations, from providing food to vulnerable families to assisting people faced with fear and depression. We will also be spreading the message that we must stay home to stay safe, while ensuring that we keep busy and happy.”
Everyone involved in the festival, from production to musical acts, will be performing on a voluntary basis in an act of solidarity for Malta’s frontliners during these difficult times.
Although Malta has been deprived of most social events since the COVID-19 virus arrived on its shores, the news of a virtual festival is bound to lift the spirits of a nation that has fought valiantly against the deadly virus.
The festival will air on TVM1 on Sunday 3rd May at 9.00 pm and will also be streamed online in English at the same time on Malta Together’s Facebook page.
