Marco Carola’s globally recognised Music On brand is making a long-awaited debut in Malta on Saturday 1 August 2026 at the Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre. Leading the line up is the founder himself and he is joined by an expertly curated selection of artists who reflect the brand’s signature sound and forward-thinking grooves. Tickets are available now via XCEED and are moving fast, so head to https://xceed.me/en/events/channel/music-on-malta 

Marco Carola remains one of electronic music’s most respected selectors and he is joined by Dutch tastemaker Franky Rizardo, whose warm, groove-led house sound blends classic influences with modern club energy, while UK trio Mason Collective bring their infectious, bass-heavy house cuts and high-impact party ethos. 

East End Dubs adds his unmistakable deep and rolling minimal sound, Joey Daniel’s punchy, stripped-back house and techno hybrids are super fresh and Italian favourite Ilario Alicante delivers raw, driving energy rooted in techno but always shaped for the dancefloor. Rising selector Ares Carter and local star Ant Mifsud completes the bill.

The inaugural Music On Malta edition will take place at the Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre, a large-scale indoor venue that will be transformed with ambitious and high-impact production for the first time. Located in the heart of the island and well connected for both local and international visitors, the venue provides the space and infrastructure required for Music On’s trademark audiovisual experience. Add into this balmy, starry nights and sun baked days and you have the perfect setting for this much anticipated Music On debut. 

Music On Malta will deliver the brand’s hallmark high-spec production and irresistible underground sounds in a brand new location, so get your tickets before they sell out.

The week closes in style with an unmissable Closing Party at Boat Club, Café Del Mar, featuring G Chase, Harty, Mazos, Mike Younger, O’Neil McDowall and Sonny Kane.

Higher Love also brings a stacked schedule of stage takeovers from cutting-edge brands including 23 Degrees, After Caposile, Appetite, Binary, Boat Club, Creche, Club Roto, Groovin, Indigenous, INLV, Lab 54, LoveJuice, Modern Funktion, Secret Sessions and WYLD who will all bring their own flavours and add to a diverse, forward-thinking soundtrack across the island.
