A record crowd of around 40,000 people packed the Floriana Granaries on Tuesday night for the 18th edition of Isle of MTV Malta, Europe’s largest free music festival.
The annual event once again cemented its status as one of the highlights of Malta’s summer calendar, attracting thousands of locals and tourists who travelled to the island for the concert.
The evening kicked off with performances by Maltese artists Aidan, Mychael Bartolo Chircop, and Jamie Cardona, setting the stage for a night of music and entertainment.
The most anticipated act of the night was Katy Perry, who treated fans to a setlist featuring some of her biggest hits alongside her new single, Watch It Burn. During an acoustic rendition of Roar, Perry opened up about her personal life, sharing a heartfelt message of resilience and perseverance with the crowd.
Her performance also featured several memorable interactive moments, including fan cams and the now-viral stunt of rolling above the audience inside a giant inflatable water bottle, before closing her set with the global hit Firework.
World-renowned DJ Afrojack rounded off the night with a high-energy closing set.
Tourism Minister Jo Etienne Abela described Isle of MTV as one of the most important events on Malta’s tourism calendar, saying it continues to strengthen the country’s reputation as a leading destination for international events while delivering significant benefits to the local economy.
He also noted that this year’s concert will be broadcast in more than 150 countries on 18th September, giving Malta worldwide exposure and further promoting the island as a premier destination for events and tourism. The show will also be available on demand after its television premiere.
