ILARIO ALICANTE HEADLINES OFFICIAL MUSIC ON MALTA AFTER PARTY THIS WEEKEND

The official after party for Music On Malta's sold out debut festival is just days away and takes place at Uno Malta this weekend. House legend Ilario Alicante headlines and will be supported by a strong roster of local and international selectors.  After party tickets are €35 and available now via Xceed.

Music On Malta makes its debut at the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre on Saturday 1st August 2026 in a landmark first for Marco Carola's influential brand. Such has been the demand for the inaugural edition that the main festival sold out entirely before capacity was expanded to accommodate the volume of interest, underscoring the appetite for a Music On event in Malta.

The official after party extends the night into the early hours at Uno Malta, with Ilario Alicante following his appearance on the main festival lineup. Alicante's raw, driving sound is rooted in techno but always shaped for the floor so he is a natural fit to carry the Music On sound into the after hours. He headlines alongside Ant Mifsud, BEPP, Cher Semain, Damz and Nikky, LAF and others.

The main festival lineup features Marco Carola, East End Dubs, Franky Rizardo, Joey Daniel, Mason Collective and Ilario Alicante, with support from Ares Carter and Ant Mifsud across a programme that reflects Music On's signature blend of deep, groove-led and forward-thinking sounds.

After party tickets are €35 and available now via Xceed.

DJ SNAKE TO HEADLINE INAUGURAL MARBELLA 12:XII FESTIVAL

Joezi, Skinny, Deelan, Blacksun, Diego Marin and more also play the open-air setting amongst palm trees and with an elevated view of downtown Marbella 

All new festival 12:XII will make its debut in Marbella on Friday 21st August 2026 with a concept centred around the theme Beyond Time. The first edition of this exclusive one day luxury event will be headlined by era-defining French superstar DJ Snake alongside Joezi, Skinny, Declan, Blacksun, Diego Marin and more.

Conceived for those who like a premium touch, 12:XII brings together music, high spec production and Marbella's famous sun. Positioned between the Mediterranean coastline and the Sierra Blanca mountains, Marbella has long been an escape for Europe's luxury seekers, with legendary beach clubs, fine dining and world-class hotels.

The quality of the light, the warmth of the air and the deep blue of the water combine to create something that feels unlike anywhere else. The old town, with its whitewashed walls, bougainvillea-draped squares and maze of narrow streets is a glamorous strip while the marina is where superyachts, designer boutiques, rooftop bars and some of the finest restaurants in southern Spain form a world of pleasure. 

The venue is an open air space that will be converted with giant LED screens, ice cannon and dynamic structures as well as a world class sound system and an elevated back stage and VIP experience in amongst the palm trees and under a baking sun and starry night sky.

Leading the lineup is DJ Snake, one of the most successful electronic artists of his generation. The French producer has amassed billions of streams through global hits including Turn Down For What, Lean On, Taki Taki and Let Me Love You, while headlining festivals and arenas across the world. Joining him is Joezi, whose emotive blend of Afro house and melodic electronic music has made him one of the genre's standout names. The lineup is completed by Skinny, Declan, Blacksun, Diego Marin and more artists to come. 

The festival takes its name from the connection first formed in December 2012, bringing together experience across electronic music, luxury hospitality and artistic direction to create a new annual event in Marbella.

Says the founder: "Great brands are built around an idea, not an event. 12:XII was born from the belief that time is the ultimate luxury, and that one extraordinary night can live far beyond the moment itself. DJ Snake was the natural choice to open that story because true icons don’t just perform - they define generations."

With its inaugural edition, 12:XII will become an essential new addition to Marbella's summer schedule as it brings together global electronic music talent with one of the hottest lifestyle destinations in the Med.

Tickets for 12:XII are on sale now, with General Admission tickets starting from €49.The festival takes place on Friday 21st August 2026 at Recinto Ferial de San Pedro Alcántara, Avenida del Mediterráneo, 8, 29670 Marbella, Spain. VIP tables are also available in limited numbers. For tickets and more information, visit https://12xiifestival.com/billetterie
