EXIT’s Spiral Festival arrives in the heart of the Mediterranean, bringing Fatboy Slim, Nina Kraviz, Argy, Lilly Palmer and many more to Malta this summer
This summer, EXIT Festival brings a brand-new music event to Malta – Spiral Festival, set to take place from July 31 to August 2 across stunning locations around the island.
The new event in the heart of the Mediterranean will bring together legendary names of the electronic scene and a new generation of artists, through a lineup that connects different genres of contemporary club sound. Inspired by one of the earliest forms of human arts, found in some of the world’s oldest freestanding temples that Malta is known for, Spiral brings people together through a shared rhythm and the unstoppable energy that defines modern festival culture.
The festival opens on Friday, July 31, at the Gianpula Village complex, one of Malta’s most exciting nightlife venues, featuring five stages and a VR zone where visitors will be able to “step into” the Petrovaradin Fortress and experience EXIT’s iconic stages. The opening night is led by Fatboy Slim, legendary DJ and one of the key pioneers of electronic music, whose hits and energy have shaped global club culture for over four decades. His historic Big Beach Boutique II performance in front of more than 250,000 people in Brighton remains one of the most iconic moments in electronic music history.
Also landing in Malta is Nina Kraviz, one of the most influential female figures in modern techno, alongside Lilly Palmer, a leading artist of the new techno and trance generation, who recently made a powerful debut with her album Bigger Than Techno. The first day lineup is further strengthened by LP Giobbi, Kasia, Divolly & Markward, Reblok, Juno, as well as Debrii, Denzel Jo Armani, Dom, Gabii, Jjoy, Jupo, Koroma, Mux, Pajsu, Privi and Riolo.
Saturday’s program moves to Café del Mar at Qawra Point, part of the globally renowned Ibiza brand, transforming one of Malta’s most magical seaside locations into a dancefloor with breathtaking sunset views. The lineup is led by Argy, one of today’s leading producers shaping the melodic techno sound. He is joined by Lanna, a rising electronic music wunderkind, Layla Benitez, a New York-based DJ known for her afro-groove and melodic house sets, and Miggy, one of the most prominent names on the Maltese scene.
The final day of the festival is reserved for the SPIRAL Pool Party Takeover, moving to Toy Room Beach Club, where a high-energy pool party will bring the festival to a close, with artist announcements coming soon.

The spirit of EXIT will travel across the globe as part of this year’s Global Tour – from No Sleep and Sea Star festivals in Belgrade and Umag, to the Great Pyramids of Giza, and all the way to India. This summer, all roads lead to Malta, set to become one of the leading festival destinations. With SPIRAL, EXIT continues to promote freedom, unity and love through gatherings inspired by the universal symbol of the spiral – representing movement, connection and the rhythm of life.
