Music On Malta: Marco Carola Reveals Line-up For 12-Hour Takeover

Whether you’re a day-one devotee or a recent convert to the Carola school of thought, you’ll know that for over a decade, Music On has been one of the most consistent forces in global club culture. Built by colossal tech-house head Marco Carola in 2012, the brand has steadily expanded its Ibiza identity beyond the island’s borders.

Now, on August 1st, 2026, they land in Malta for the very first time. Taking over the Malta Fairs & Convention Centre in Attard for a solid 12-hour stretch, it marks a new chapter for both the island’s electronic calendar and Music On’s continued push toward a worldwide footprint.

Carola, as ever, remains the axis. But the weight of a Music On lineup is always in the details. Joining him is Franky Rizardo, whose driving house selections bridge classic groove with modern punch. Then Mason Collective bring their unmistakable Manchester swing, delivering high-energy, percussive rhythms straight to the amps. London’s East End Dubs adds his engineered minimalism, a bass specialist who understands exactly how to work a system.

On the deeper side, Joey Daniel arrives with refined, dubby selections rooted in Amsterdam’s underground, while Ilario Alicante injects acid textures and progressive tension into the mix. Support comes from Ares Carter alongside Maltese selector Ant Mifsud, grounding the event in its well-demanded local roots.

If the island’s recent trajectory in electronic music is anything to go by, this won’t be a one-off. Fellow Maltese and international devotees, the call’s been made. The ball’s on your side. Get tickets now!
