Isle of MTV Malta 2027: Dates, Lineup, Parties & Tickets (Full Guide)
Planning for Isle of MTV Malta 2027? Malta Music Week is traditionally the biggest week of the Maltese summer.

Here's your guide to what to expect in 2027, how the 2026 edition looked and how to get tickets.
What is Isle of MTV Malta Music Week?
Every July, MTV brings global headliners to Malta for a week that mixes the huge open-air Isle of MTV concert with official club nights, pool parties and boat parties organised around it. Thousands of international party-goers, Erasmus students and locals take over Paceville, Gianpula Village, Café del Mar and Toy Room Beach for an unforgettable week.
Isle of MTV Malta 2027 — what to expect
The 2027 dates and line-up haven't been announced yet. If the week keeps its usual format, expect a mix of official club nights, pool parties and boat parties around the main concert. To give you an idea, this is how the 2026 programme looked — Music Week ran 22–26 July, with five official parties:
🎧 The Official After Party
In 2026, the night the main show ended (Wednesday 22 July), the party moved to Gianpula Main Room for the Official After Party with global superstar Afrojack in his underground alias Kapuchon, doors 23:30–04:00.
🌊 The Day Boat Party
A full-day party at sea along Malta's coastline: sunshine, swimming and non-stop music. In 2026 the Isle of MTV Day Boat Party sailed on Thursday 23 July, departing Sliema Ferries at 12:00 sharp.
🪩 Club night at Gianpula
In 2026, Malta's biggest Friday club night got its own Isle of MTV edition: G7 Fridays ft. NERVO, with the chart-topping DJ duo at Gianpula Main Room on 24 July.
🌅 Sunset at Café del Mar

☀️ The closing pool party
In 2026 the week closed by the pool: UK legend Dizzee Rascal played live at the Toy Room Beach Pool Party in Sliema on Sunday 26 July, from 13:00.
