IN FOCUS
ROCK THE SOUTH / MALTA Rock The South Malta has become a staple in the Maltese music scene and a much-needed platform for international touring acts to visit the islands – especially considering the fact that there’s a significant indie music following. 2020 marks the 9th edition of the festival which has grown steadily each and every year. This year, Leeds-based alternative rock band Pulled Apart By Horses will be the main headliners on the 16th of May 2020, together with the American, post-metal band Staghorn and the Anglo-Greek outfit Balothizer. Previous headliners include Soccer 96 (UK), Giungla (IT) , Sdang! (IT), Porcupine Tree's Colin
Edwin (UK), Zatopeks (UK) and Bo Ningen (JP). As from 2018, Rock the South has partnered with UK music group Phantom Limb – a company that works with independent labels, live touring, music publishing and worldwide distributors. Through this connection, the Maltese festival can be more ambitious and more selective when booking artists.
