The long-awaited return of Isle of MTV is finally over as the event has finally been announced to be making it’s official comeback.

With some big names to perform in the 2022 edition, with DJ Marshmello set to headline, the event’s past is enough to get those who had a very special place in their hearts for the event excited.

Past performers at the Isle of MTV Malta include the likes of Jason Derulo, Bebe Rexha, Lady Gaga, Steve Aoki, Flo Rita, Black Eyed Peas and even David Guetta.

Broadcasting internationally in around 180 countries through TV and other platforms, the event has attracted around tens of thousands people to each of its iterations throughout the years.

The first Isle of MTV which was held on Maltese shores dates back to 2007, seeing the likes of Ira Losco sharing the stage with Akon, Maroon 5 and Enrique Iglesias.

From then on, the festival remained a mainstay of Maltese musical events, attracting people from all around the globe. However, as many other events, Isle of MTV had to halt events for two consecutive years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The return of the 14th edition in 2022 is a clear sign that mass events are back, and people can finally get a taste of what life was like before the pandemic. So book the date – 19th July 2022 – for our first step into post-COVID normalcy.
