This week, there’s a jam-packed schedule full of music events, including parties such as the Official ISLE OF MTV After Party, a boat party, and much more.
Preparing for the Isle of MTV Malta Adventure
- Pack accordingly: Make sure you prepare your essentials. In this case, we suggest comfortable footwear for a night full of dancing. Remember sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the summer Mediterranean sun, considering the concert starts at around 6 pm. Bring a small backpack or bag to carry other essentials, such as a portable phone charger, snacks, and water.
- Plan your itinerary: To ensure a smooth trip to the concert at The Granaries in Floriana, planning your journey carefully is essential. Remember that other concert-goers will also be travelling to the event, so it’s necessary to choose the most accessible and convenient route to avoid any delays or disappointments.
- Arrive early: This concert attracts a massive audience, so arriving early gives you a better chance of securing a good spot close to the stage. You’ll also have time to acquaint yourself with the venue, including food vendors and first aid stations.
- Stay hydrated and nourished: Staying hydrated is a must under the scorching Maltese sun, especially during an outdoor event like this. Bring a water bottle or enough cash to purchase water from the venue. Additionally, pack some snacks to keep your energy levels up.
- Bring your cash with you: The music festival is free, but don’t leave your purse behind if you want to purchase food and beverages. And although having a debit/credit card should be enough, make sure you bring some cash as well.
- Enjoy the experience: Make the most of your Isle of MTV Malta experience by relaxing, enjoying the music, and connecting with other music enthusiasts. It’s an unforgettable experience!
