Malta's most beloved open-air festival is back for its 18th edition, kicking off the summer in true Earth Garden spirit. This year, the experience expands across multiple locations, beginning with a sunset launch at Palm Beach on June 5th, followed by the main celebration at Ta' Qali National Park on 6, 7, 8 June.
A bold new promo campaign released earlier this year sets the tone for a free-spirited and soulful gathering, staying true to Earth Garden's roots of music, culture, and community. With its hallmark mix of genres and cultural expressions, the festival continues to embrace diversity while championing sustainability and wellness.
This year's musical offering is bigger than ever, with six distinct stages and over 120 acts performing on The Roots Stage, Electronic Sphere, Enchanted Forest, Strawberry Fields, Mystique, and Music Playground. Hosting a vibrant mix of sounds from around the world, headline acts include Basement Jaxx, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Rudimental, Hilight Tribe, Dasha Rush, Ogazon, Hunee and Sandwell District, performing alongside beloved local icons Tribali, Brodu, and Nicky Bomba & The Reggae Ska Experience. Rising talent will also shine on the Music Playground, a space dedicated to emerging artists.
The festival launch at Palm Beach brings a symbolic connection to the element of water, adding a new layer to Earth Garden's elemental heritage. Expect a powerful live performance by Brazilian drumming ensemble Escola de Samba Roma-Rio on the sand, building into a night of cutting-edge electronic music with Narciss under the stars.
Earth Garden 2025 also introduces exciting new features, including a custom-built wooden dancefloor at the Electronic Sphere, upgrades throughout the park for enhanced comfort, and the debut of Juicy, an ESPOLON-featured cocktail bar serving fresh juice-based creations.
Beyond the music, Earth Garden continues to evolve as a space for discovery, play, and wellbeing. The Healing Fields return with a refreshed programme of workshops, meditation, and ice baths. Families can enjoy a rich lineup of activities in the Earth Kidz area, including a drumming workshop led by Peter Paul from Tribali. This space, powered by Aloha Happy Kids, Esplora, and Heritage Malta, offers full-day programming available with day tickets throughout the weekend.Adding to the experience, Heritage Malta will host an interactive VR installation exploring Malta's top underwater dive sites, while Esplora brings science to life with their Magic Bubble Show and hands-on Science Bar. The Ethnic Market remains a festival favourite, showcasing colourful handcrafted goods, and the newly launched Chill & Chai Zone invites guests to unwind with a warm cup of chai in a relaxed setting.
For campers, this year includes the option of an extra night at the Earth Garden campsite on June 5th, complete with shuttle service and access to the Palm Beach Pre-Party. Those staying in the campsite can also enjoy up to 50% off at the exclusive Camping Bar, with cold essentials like CISK 6-packs and ice available at unbeatable convenience. And don't miss the secret entrance to the Mystique Stage-rumour has it, it's got Narnia energy.
