GLITCH:
A DREAM SUMMER GATHERING

12 15 AUGUST 2026

Every year, we gather at this sun-kissed paradise, a place where people from every corner of the globe unite as one big family with a shared purpose: to celebrate, connect, and have fun. Taking place from 12–15 of August on the Island of Malta, and marking our 10-year anniversary, Glitch Festival 2026 brings together 95+ acts that define our diverse energy. A line-up rooted in continuity and evolution, where familiar allies return, rising stars emerge, and rare pairings collide.

With over 9 stages on offer, dancers are called to gather for four sun-drenched days and moonlit nights of radiant dancefloor intensity. From an opening party inside the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage fortifications, roaring rooftop pool parties to legendary Orbit stage to brand new additions — Glitch spaces are attentively designed to provide festival goers the ideal spots to lose themselves in. Kicking off on Wednesday 12th with its explosive opening, the main festival takes place between the 13-14th August at Gianpula Village against a backdrop of the ancient medieval city of Mdina. And finally, the 15th brings the festival to a euphoric end with our infamous boat parties followed by a heartfelt closing party.
