Bonnie Tyler was forced to cancel her show due to a medical emergency, but organisers have acted fast
Bonnie Tyler’s sudden emergency surgery means she has been forced to cancel her upcoming concert at the Summer Lust Music Festival in Ħal Għaxaq.
However, Għaxaq Music Events have acted fast, confirming German synth-pop band Alphaville as a replacement headliner for the event on Friday, 22nd May.
Renowned for 80s anthems like Forever Young, Big in Japan and Sounds Like a Melody, Alphaville will bring their full band show to Malta as part of their 2026 international tour.
