The Levant Gozo Music Fest will be held next week, Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri said.

This is the first festival of its kind for Gozo, which is going to be spread over two days.

Camilleri said that the festival will take place at the Heliport in Xewkija on 9 and 10 September.

Camilleri explained that, "In Gozo the Levant Gozo Music Fest is being staged among other events so that the island continues to be attractive for leisure tourism as we continue to offer high quality activities both for Gozo and also for the Maltese and for the tourists who visit us."
