Get ready for a night of pure musical magic, because Kurt Calleja is back at the Għaxaq Music Festival, and this time, he’s bringing some of Malta’s biggest stars along for the ride.
Following a crowd-pumping set in 2023, Kurt is turning up the volume with a brand-new concept: Kurt Calleja & Friends. Taking over Day 2 of the festival, this live show promises to be louder, bolder, and more electric than ever before. Backed by his stellar live band, Kurt will be joined on stage by local powerhouses Brooke Borg, Chiara, Owen Leuellen, and Kersten Graham for a show packed with chart-topping covers, 2000s throwbacks, and beloved hits like ‘This Is The Night’, ‘Bla Tarf’, ‘X’Ghamilt B’Idejja’, and ‘Aziza’.
Brooke Borg brings her signature vocals and pop flair. A fan-favourite in the Malta Eurovision Song Contest and recent runner-up at Mużika Mużika 2025, Brooke is known for owning every stage she steps onto.
Chiara, Malta’s Eurovision queen, is set to deliver a goosebump-worthy rendition of ‘Kuljum’ – the fresh Maltese-language version of her iconic ballad ‘Angel’ – in a powerful duet with Kurt.
Owen Leuellen, known for his signature mix of rap and pop, will bring an edge to the show. A rising star since his X Factor Malta debut, Owen continues to evolve with every performance.
Kersten Graham, blues-rock guitarist and Kurt’s long-time music director, adds that raw, emotional power with his signature guitar style. Expect serious musical chemistry and a few surprises.
As if this local dream team wasn’t enough, Kurt Calleja & Friends are warming up the crowd for none other than the Gipsy Kings – Grammy Award-winning legends known for their fiery fusion of flamenco and pop. It’s the kind of night where global meets local, and the energy doesn’t quit.
