New Ta’ Qali concert area could welcome big international artists as it nears completion

Aug 6 2022

A concert area in Ta’ Qali is poised to become a hotspot in local events, potentially welcoming multiple international artists as the newly-renovated space nears completion.

Valletta Cultural Agency Chairman Jason Micallef took to Facebook to share a few snaps of the progress, highlighting that a once-illegal concrete factory has been converted into a large green space which will eventually ‘be given back to the public’.

Micallef also revealed that the green space will be equipped with the finest facilities, making what is expected to be the ‘largest concert zone in our country’ an ideal place for families to relax as it approaches its opening date in a few weeks.

With most international artists back on the international tour schedules, who knows who could come to Malta to be the first to test out the concert space?
