Glitch Festival next month The biggest line-up ever to hit Malta
A
fter last year’s successful and ground-shaking debut, Glitch Festival is coming back with its second edition next month. Electronic music enthusiasts from all over the world are once again called to gather at the gates of the mystical House-and-Techno fortress for two solid days on a sonic adventure on the Mediterranean Island of Malta. The 2017 edition of Glitch Festival will officially take place over the 7 and 8 of September at Gianpula Fields, framed against the iconic skyline of Malta’s fortified city, Mdina. Party-goers can lap up the last of the summer sunshine against a backdrop of sun-kissed house
and disco followed by darker, disjointed techno, acid and electro music which will take the party well into the night. Glitch Festival will feature multiple stages and promises a diverse quality line-up of industry titans, including Maceo Plex, Jon Hopkins, Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock and Recondite. A rare appearance by the legendary Mr. G will also be one of the festival’s highlights, together with Drexciyaaffiliated DJ Stingray, Blawan, Dax J, Legowelt, Vril, Palms Trax, DJ Seinfeld, Jupiter Jax, Hail Blk and more. As though this year’s solid two-day line-up wasn’t mind-blowing enough
already, Glitch Festival will also set sail. Happening on Saturday 9 September, the day-time boat party will feature a carefully curated lineup of international acts – making this an unmissable, intimate, sunsoaked expedition. Space Dimension Controller, DJ Seinfeld and Jupiter Jax will take over the boat in a grandfinale, closing off the second edition of Glitch Festival in proper fashion. Find the fortress, find the Glitch. Air Malta is proud to be assisting this event and supporting initiatives that enrich the calendar of events happening on the Maltese Islands throughout the year.
