The Event.

Isle of MTV Malta is Europe’s largest free festival, organized every year – since 2007 – by MTV Europe, able to attract a crowd of more than 50,000 people.

For years, we at Urban Jungle have been supporters and partners of this unique and highly anticipated event that brings together music fans, clubbers and tourists from all over the public world.

Isle of MTV Malta took place July 19-24 and featured international artists, including Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Marshmello and multi-platinum, three-time Grammy-nominated artist, entrepreneur and humanitarian French Montana.

Il-Fosos Square was lit by the colors of a beautiful sunset when British singer-songwriter Mae Muller took the stage. A perfect atmosphere for the performance on her new single “I Just Came to Dance” and “Better Days.”
