Friday, 7 September from 7pm: Rock for Richmond – Mount Carmel Yard, Attard

The three B’s – musical bands Brodu, Brikkuni and the Beangrowers – are coming together for a night of shenanigans and knock-out sounds which will have you jumping and swaying all night tomorrow (till 11pm at any rate). The concert (tickets here) is being held at the Mount Carmel Yard in Attard and is taking place in aid of Richmond Foundation, raising funds for their new mental health project targeting children and youngsters. Worthy sounds for a worthy cause. 

Kick back:

Saturday, 8 September, all day: Victory Day Celebrations - Fort St Angelo & Valletta

Commemorating the end of Malta’s three sieges - the Great Siege in 1565, the French blockade in 1800 and the harrowing blitz of World War II - Victory Day lines up a series of events designed to make us remember. In Fort St Angelo, Catholic masses will be celebrated at 10am and noon, while, across the water in Valletta, keep an eye out for the parades. In the afternoon, the much-anticipated regatta (rowing boat race) will push to the finish line in the Grand Harbour.

Let loose:

So many parties, so little time. It will probably be impossible to keep up with the Jones’ on these ones, but more choice means the weekend is your oyster. Tomorrow night, there are three events all catering to those who want to let their hair down: in the centre of the island, head to Uno Village for a night of stomping; to the shore in St Paul’s Bay for music by some of radio’s most popular DJs at Cafe del Mar and to St Julian’s, high up up up the Portomaso Tower. Saturday comes with its own fun and games – Gianpula is hosting Swedish DJ Otto Knows of Million Voices fame, so you won’t have to hit the ground till Sunday morning comes around.
