Earth Garden Returns Next Weekend For Its 18th Edition: Here’s What To Expect
Malta’s most loved open-air festival is officially back for its 18th edition and it’s coming in bigger than ever.
Earth Garden is kicking off the summer with a multi-location experience, starting with a sunset launch at Palm Beach on 5th June, followed by the main event at Ta’ Qali National Park on 6th, 7th and 8th June.
A bold new promo campaign dropped earlier this year, setting the tone for a free-spirited, soulful celebration rooted in music, culture and community. Earth Garden stays true to its identity: diverse, conscious and full of life.
Six Stages, 120+ Acts, One Big Vibe
This year’s lineup features over 120 acts spread across six distinct stages. The Roots Stage, Electronic Sphere, Enchanted Forest, Strawberry Fields, Mystique and the Music Playground.
Expect a wild mix of global and local sounds with Basement Jaxx, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Rudimental, Hilight Tribe, Dasha Rush, Ogazón, Hunee and Sandwell District, alongside local legends like Tribali, Brodu, and Nicky Bomba & The Reggae Ska Experience.
Emerging talent also takes the spotlight on the Music Playground, dedicated to rising artists from Malta and beyond.
A New Element: The Palm Beach Pre-Party
The new Palm Beach launch brings water into Earth Garden’s elemental story. On 5th June, Escola de Samba Roma-Rio will kick off the festivities on the sand with a high-energy drumming set, followed by a beachside electronic session with Narciss under the stars.

Beyond the Music
Earth Garden is more than just a festival, it’s a space for discovery, play and wellbeing. The Healing Fields are back with workshops, meditation sessions and even ice baths.
Families are in for a treat too! The Earth Kidz area returns with full-day programming powered by Aloha Happy Kids, Esplora and Heritage Malta, including a drumming workshop with Peter Paul from Tribali.
Esplora will also bring science to life with a Magic Bubble Show and hands-on Science Bar, while Heritage Malta is set to debut a VR experience showcasing Malta’s underwater dive sites.
The Ethnic Market returns with handcrafted finds, and for those who want to wind down, the all-new Chill & Chai Zone offers a cosy corner with warm cups of chai and good vibes.
Campers, You’re In For A Treat
Campers can now check in a day early on 5th June, enjoy shuttle service to Palm Beach, and kick things off with the Pre-Party. Expect up to 50% off at the exclusive Camping Bar, plus convenient essentials like cold CISK 6-packs and ice. Oh, and rumour has it there’s a secret entrance to the Mystique Stage… Narnia energy included.
With weekend passes, day tickets, camping, glamping and tent rentals available, there’s a way for everyone to experience Earth Garden their way.
