Glitch Festival is an annual electronic music festival held on the Mediterranean island of Malta. Founded by local promoters, it stands out for its focus on underground sounds and its dedication to showcasing the island's own electronic music scene.
Here's a breakdown of what makes Glitch Festival unique:
- Local Heartbeat: Unlike many festivals on Malta, Glitch isn't run by outside companies. It's a passion project by four Maltese music lovers who have been promoting parties for over two decades. This local connection allows them to cultivate a distinct identity for the festival.
- Focus on Techno & Electro: Glitch takes inspiration from Malta's long-standing underground techno scene, particularly the iconic Liquid Club. The festival lineup leans towards techno and electro, with some house and disco influences sprinkled in.
- Curated by Local Promoters: The founders each run their own successful club nights in Malta, bringing a wealth of experience to curating the Glitch Festival lineup. This approach ensures the festival reflects the diverse tastes within Malta's electronic music scene.
If you're looking for a festival that goes beyond big-name DJs and explores the heart of Malta's electronic music culture, Glitch Festival is definitely worth checking out.
