The Malta Jazz Festival is happy to announce the programme of the Valletta Midday Jazz Concerts, which runs from 17 to 22 July, and for which all shows are free.

Throughout the whole festival week, Valletta will resonate to the sound of jazz. The concerts will be held in front of the Parliament building at the entrance of the city at 12.30pm and will feature both established locals and upcoming musicians.

These events are part of the Jazz on the Fringe activities and are being organised in collaboration with Valletta 2018.
