EXIT Festival lands in Malta 🌀

The team behind EXIT — twice voted Europe's Best Major Festival — is bringing its Spiral Festival concept to Malta for one massive weekend: 1–2 August 2026, across two of the island's most iconic venues.

👉 Day 1 tickets (Gianpula Village) — from €35
👉 Day 2 tickets (Café del Mar) — sunset session

Two days, two worlds

Day 1 — Gianpula Village (night)

The opening night takes over Malta's biggest open-air clubbing complex in the countryside near Rabat. Expect the festival-grade production EXIT is famous for — multiple areas, international headliners and that open-air-under-the-stars energy that makes Gianpula special in August.

Day 2 — Café del Mar (sunset)

Day two moves to the island's most famous sunset spot: Café del Mar Malta, on the water's edge at St Paul's Bay. Infinity pool, golden hour, and a lineup built for dancing straight through the Mediterranean sunset.

Why this is THE festival weekend of Malta's summer

EXIT was born in Novi Sad in 2000 and has grown into one of the most awarded festivals in the world. Spiral is its touring edition — and Malta's version condenses the formula into a weekend: one night of full-throttle clubbing, one day of pool-and-sunset vibes. Do both. That's the point.

FAQs
