The concert organised by Standout Events featuring Italian singer-songwriter Antonello Venditti and local band Winter Moods, which was planned for last Friday, has been postponed until Saturday, 1 September as a sign of respect during the two days of national mourning on Friday and yesterday following the death of former Prime Minister Dom Mintoff.
Standout Events had advised that the venue of the 1 September concert will remain the same, MFCC Ta’ Qali, and the timing also remains unchanged at 8pm with Winter Moods, followed by Antonello Venditti on stage at 9.30pm.
People already in possession of entrance tickets will be automatically allowed inside the venue on Saturday. If refunds are required, ticket holders can contact Ticketline by email on [email protected] or contact Standout Events on 2745 0000 or by email on [email protected] .

Standout Events apologises for any inconvenience caused, but felt it was appropriate to move the date of the event for the reason stated. It would like to first and foremost thank Antonello Venditti’s management for providing an alternative date in his Unica tour schedule, as well as thank MFCC, the sponsors and the media for supporting this change of date.
“The interest shown by the public for this concert featuring the legendary Italian singer-songwriter Antonello Venditti and Malta’s most popular band Winter Moods is amazing. We hope that the public understands the need for postponing the event and promise that all those who attend will be thrilled by the musical experience that Venditti and Winter Moods will offer,” said Standout Events director Antonella Vassallo.
Venditti was in Malta in June to promote his concert. A veteran of the Italian music scene, and one of its most popular artists, he has a considerable following in Malta. To date he has released over 30 albums, the latest being 2011’s Unica, which features the controversial Berlusconi-inspired song La ragazza del Lunedi (Silvio). The concert will feature classics such as In Questo Mondo di Ladri, Sotto il Segno dei Pesci, Buona Domenica, and Grazie Roma.
