Malta Jazz Festival 2016

It’s back! The Malta Jazz Festival 2016 is upon us (21-23 July) and with as stellar line up as at any of its previous 20 years plus editions. The heat is on, the stage is in its favourite, familiar venue down by Grand Harbour at Ta’Liesse. The crowd will be the regular mix of locals and island visitors. For many of us locals, the Jazz Festival is a welcome al fresco date in the calender and a chance to bump into old friends we’ve not seen since the last edition of Malta Jazz.

Marcus Roberts Malta Jazz Festival 2016

The success of the event is the sum of numerous parts: a line up that draws the greats of the jazz circuit; the sultry warmth of a perfect Mediterranean summer night; the magical backdrop of unparalleled history and harbour views; and of course, the great conversation that flows in the intervals over a few beers. But what of this year’s artists?

Malta Jazz Festival 2016, Programme

In the spirit of the forthcoming Valletta, European Capital of Culture 2018 year, this year’s jazz festival sees the event spread around the city.  The midday concerts happening during the 19th to the 23rd of July are being introduced as part of this summer’s Fringe, and are free of charge.

Full details of the artists over on Malta Jazz.
