Rock the South is back. Malta's longest-running alternative music festival returns for its 13th edition on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of May 2026 at its spiritual home, Zion. Three days, two main stages, and a silent disco after-hours. This one's bigger than ever.
Powered by Converse and Urban Jungle, the festival has just dropped its full lineup — and it's stacked.
The Lineup
Friday 1st May — Doors 4:30PM
The weekend kicks off with Brodu headlining Friday's bill, joined by Danjeli, the newly formed Dwejn (featuring members of Djun), David Schembri, Aidan Somers, Bee, Sad Pancake, and JOB on the decks. After-hours, the silent disco goes head-to-head with Lithium VS DJ Bob.
Saturday 2nd May — Doors 5PM
Saturday brings the heavyweights. Brikkuni top the bill — need we say more? They're joined by Michael Azzopardi u l-Klieb tal-Wulf, Beesqueeze, Skimmed, Areola Treat, Italy's Bedroom Horse, Motherknives, Mauve, and Views. Silent disco duties go to I.YOU.
Sunday 3rd May — Doors 1PM
Sunday is a marathon. Fifteen acts across the day, led by Forsaken and BNI. The rest of the card reads like a who's who of Malta's underground: Dripht, Knockturn Alley, BILA, Haine, Germany's Fotokiller, Five Years From Now, Kodin Hill N' The Pressed Pills, Double Standard, NoHumano, Grotium, Viper Soup Complex, Bruda, and Myles.
