Minister for National Heritage, Arts, and Local Government Owen Bonnici announced that 45 concerts will receive funding through Rock’N Malta in 2025.
Administered by Festivals Malta, the fund provides financial aid, logistical support, and marketing assistance to organisers, promoters, and local rock artists.
Minister Bonnici highlighted the initiative’s increasing popularity, noting a record number of applications this year. “With the fund now raised to €1 million, more artists will benefit.
This will support 45 projects and involve around 700 local and international artists, further strengthening Malta’s music scene.
The investment will also create opportunities for emerging talent, encourage artistic collaboration, and boost interest in live music, enriching our cultural landscape,” he said.
Festivals Malta Chairman Aaron Zahra underscored the fund’s impact on local productions. “Through Rock’N Malta, we continue to invest in rock concerts and their sub-genres, ensuring top-quality events for both locals and visitors.”
CEO Frans Agius outlined upcoming events, reaffirming the organisation’s dedication to enhancing event quality through logistical and marketing expertise.
The supported concerts will take place between February and December 2025.
