After a stellar performance during the first semi-final in Rotterdam, Maltese Eurovision Song Contest 2021 Ambassador Destiny Chukunyere will be performing her hit ‘Je Me Casse’ in 6th place after Russia and before Portugal. Cyprus will be opening the contest, with Elena Tsagrinou’s ‘El Diablo’, closing the night off with ‘Adrenalina’ by Senhit from San Marino.

A total of 26 countries will be competing during the final, all bringing their A-game to seize the 2021 title of winner. Destiny is, as of the time of this writing, in third place betting-wise behind Italy’s Maneskin and France’s Barbara Pravi. We are all sure Destiny will be rocking the stage next Saturday, and if her semi-final performance is something to go by, she will definitely prove to be a singing force to be reckoned with. Good luck Destiny!

Nightclubs & feasts officially ruled out for Summer 2021

Nightclubs & feasts officially ruled out for Summer 2021
May 20 2021 Share

Valletta Cultural Agency Chairman Jason Micallef took to Facebook on Thursday to break the news that he was officially notified that for the entire summer (until September) no cultural events of any sort will be allowed to take place in any open spaces, streets, squares or other places.

This still stands even if entry were to be controlled or the audiences shows a vaccination certificate, meaning that cultural events as well as entertainment establishments such as nightclubs and discotheques will not be able to welcome revellers during the summer, to the disdain of the VCA chairman.
