Sunny Side Festival Malta 2025: Underground Sounds Under the Mediterranean Sun

📅 May 16–18, 2025 | Various Locations, Malta

Pack your sunnies, your best vinyl crate T-shirt, and prepare for a long weekend of open-air grooves, beachside vibes, and underground legends. Sunny Side Festival Malta 2025 is making its triumphant return from May 16 to 18, and it’s shaping up to be a sun-kissed celebration of sound for true music connoisseurs.

If you’re the type to chase sunrise sets, dance ‘til your soles ache, and obsess over rare wax cuts, this is your kind of festival. We're talking over 40 genre-defying artists, intimate venues, beach parties, and a community that runs deep with love for underground culture.

🎶 A Line-Up to Melt Your Mind

The second wave of artists has dropped, and it’s an absolute goldmine for the heads who know. Sonja Moonear, the queen of deep, driving minimal, is bringing her unpredictable selections to Malta’s shores. Mathew Jonson will perform a spellbinding live set, blending analog wizardry with cosmic techno twists. Magda returns to unleash a hypnotic blend of groove-heavy minimal and Detroit-tinged energy.

BASHKKA is bringing soulful, high-octane energy to the decks, while PARAMIDA promises euphoric house that’ll lift your spirit sky-high. Romanian sensation Hostom (Varhat) will be performing live, delivering stripped-back rhythms with a touch of futuristic elegance. Then there’s Dungeon Meat, who’ll be shaking dancefloors to their foundations with raw, punchy tech-house that’s made to move.

We’re not stopping there. You’ve got Christian AB, Sweely, Ryan Elliott, Jonny Rock, Hamish & Toby, Alexia Glensy, Desirée Falessi, and Felipe Valenzuela (Live)—each one with a style and vibe all their own. It's a true sonic journey across genres, tempos, and emotional landscapes.

The main action happens at UNO Malta, one of the island’s most iconic outdoor clubs, featuring two immersive stages: Treehaus and Tropicana. Think lush surroundings, open skies, and sound systems that’ll wrap around you like a warm embrace.

But that’s just the beginning. Beach parties along the Mediterranean coastline are part of the weekend magic, with more secret venues and pop-ups yet to be revealed. Expect hidden corners, chill zones, and stages where you’re right up in the booth with your favorite DJs.
