Dark Malta Festival 2025 is set to return for another extraordinary edition, bringing together some of the most influential names in Gothic, Industrial, and Metal music. Since its inception in 2018, the festival has grown from a one-day event with six bands to a three-day international gathering, attracting attendees from across the world for a unique blend of live performances, DJ sets, art exhibitions, and alternative culture.
Taking place from April 25 - 27, 2025, at Gianpula Village, Malta’s premier open-air venue, Dark Malta offers a distinctive experience combining immersive music performances with the island’s rich history and stunning landscapes. Alongside an impressive line-up, festival-goers can enjoy pool parties, afterparties, an alternative market, and the Oskura Art Exhibition, making it more than just a festival, but rather a dark holiday escape in the Mediterranean.
This year’s line-up features a carefully curated selection of renowned and emerging artists, spanning across darkwave, industrial, synth, EBM, gothic rock, and metal. Among the headline acts are FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, COMBICHRIST, CLAN OF XYMOX, DIARY OF DREAMS, AESTHETIC PERFECTION, NACHTMAHR, and SOLITARY EXPERIMENTS. The festival will also showcase rising names such as HER OWN WORLD, NEL BUIO, and MAL DI LUNA, alongside electronic innovators like SYNTH ATTACK and LEIBKNECHT. In addition to live performances, DJ sets at pool and afterparties will keep the energy going, ensuring that the festival atmosphere extends beyond the main stage.
Dark Malta also offers a deeper cultural experience. Attendees can explore the historic streets of Valletta on a guided tour, browse through a diverse alternative market, and engage with the Oskura Art Exhibition, which highlights visual and artistic interpretations of gothic and alternative culture. The festival’s location - a country known for its ancient temples, fortifications, and maritime history - adds another layer to this unique event, merging dark aesthetics with Malta’s timeless allure.
