Glitch Festival (Mdina, Malta) 2025

About

Glitch Festival 2025 is set to light up Malta’s electronic music scene from Wednesday, August 13 through the early hours of Sunday, August 17, once again taking place at the iconic Gianpula Village, nestled in the lush outskirts of Rabat. This much-anticipated edition invites festival-goers into a unique Mediterranean rave experience, blending cutting-edge underground music with sun-soaked landscapes, ancient city backdrops, and late-night euphoria under the stars.

Spread across multiple open-air venues, rooftop stages, and intimate club environments, Glitch Festival offers a diverse range of sonic experiences — from sunrise techno workouts to ambient explorations and explosive bass-heavy sets. With music running from late afternoon into the early morning, the festival promises four full days of non-stop energy, scenic views, and expertly curated sound.

The 2025 lineup showcases a bold and dynamic mix of artists at the forefront of techno, house, and experimental club music. Global heavyweights like I Hate Models, Dax J, Rødhåd, VTSS, Sara Landry, Daria Kolosova, and SHDW b2b ANNĒ will headline the deeper, darker hours of the event. Rising stars and boundary-pushing selectors such as DJ Heartstring, Aurora Halal, Peach, Anetha, Freddy K b2b Alarico, SPFDJ b2b Anetha, and Clara Cuvé promise genre-defying moments across the week. The lineup also embraces collaborative sets and local talent, with special B2B performances like MRD b2b Bae Blade, VTSS b2b KETTAMA, and dj sweet6teen b2b THC, alongside Maltese acts including INVERTED (MT), STK (MT), and YAZMIN (MT).

What makes Glitch Festival stand out is its immersive approach to location and atmosphere. Surrounded by historic architecture and rugged island terrain, each venue delivers a uniquely crafted vibe — whether you’re grooving by the pool, under a canopy of lasers, or dancing in front of limestone walls with panoramic sunset views.

Beyond the music, Glitch has become a pilgrimage for adventurous ravers seeking a music festival experience that fuses cultural richness with world-class underground music. With a reputation for its passionate crowd, deep artist curation, and exceptional sound quality, Glitch Festival 2025 is poised to be one of the summer’s most unmissable events on the global electronic music calendar.
