Upcoming events

These are your options:



1. Word-of-mouth.
Ask around.

2. Forums, Websites and Facebook pages.

It's a hard job, but someone's got to do it. That someone being you of course...

Yell (Website)
Fairly comprehensive listings site with a very unusual header of five people suffering from an electrically-induced stroke (or are they just happy?)

Scaremongering (Forum)
One of Malta's most active artsy forums and a good place to start. Lots of inconsequential rants about everything, but sift through the babble and you'll find interesting pointers to events: arts, rock or rave (as we used to call dance music a few centuries ago), experimental stuff, etc.


Hairy Amp (Forum)
A new forum. Looks like it focuses more on the rock scene (particularly alt.rock) than any other scene but seems willing to branch out into other areas.


Squadron (Forum)
Parties. House, techno, unz unz unz. Lookee here.


Alternative Malta (Forum)
This alt.rock forum has been around for a few years now. Well - HAD been around for a few years - as it doesn't seem to be online. Still, they're all Facebooked up nowadays...

Eventsmalta et al (Facebook group)
Let them eat spam (sometimes) . Wahey!


3. Malta Tourist Office.

Reasonably friendly but also reasonably clueless.
