After last year's ground-shakingly successful debut, Glitch Festival is coming back with it's second edition next week, happening on the 7th and 8th of September. Electronic music enthusiasts from all over the world will once again gather at the gates of the mystical House-and-Techno fortress for two solid days on a sonic adventure on the Mediterranean island of Malta.

Glitch Festival will officially take place at Gianpula fields, framed against the iconic skyline of Malta's fortified city, Mdina. This year the festival is expected to attract around 2,000 tourists from over 45 countries including UK, France, Australia, Brazil to the US. In total 4,000 people are expected to attend.

Glitch Festival will feature multiple stages and promises a diverse quality line-up of industry titans, including Maceo Plex, Jon Hopkins, Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock and Recondite. A rare appearance by the legendary Mr. G will also be one of the Festival's highlights, together with Drexciya-affiliated DJ Stingray, Blawan, Dax J, Legowelt, Vril, Palms Trax, DJ Seinfeld, Jupiter Jax, Hail Blk and more.

This year Glitch has introduced an extra day with a boat party. Happening on Saturday 9th September, the day-time boat party will feature a carefully curated line-up of international act. Space Dimension Controller, DJ Seinfeld and Jupiter Jax will take over the boat in a grand-finale, closing off the 2nd edition of Glitch Festival in proper fashion.
