Malta comes alive in summer with Mediterranean sunshine and an exciting calendar of events. SummerDaze is one of the island’s leading music festivals, making Palazzo Violetta an ideal base for enjoying the experience.
International Music Under the Maltese Sky
SummerDaze brings internationally recognised artists to Malta for large-scale concerts at the Ta’ Qali Concert Area. The 2026 edition features Lewis Capaldi on 11 August and Calvin Harris on 15 August, offering two memorable evenings for fans of live music and dance.
More Than a Music Festival
A trip to SummerDaze can be part of a complete Malta holiday. Guests can explore beaches and historic cities by day before returning to Palazzo Violetta for a comfortable and peaceful stay.
Getting There from Palazzo Violetta
From Palazzo Violetta, guests can reach the SummerDaze venue at Ta’ Qali most directly by taxi or a pre-booked private transfer. Public transport is also available from the Sliema area, although visitors should allow additional time due to festival traffic and larger crowds around the venue.
Make the Most of Summer in Malta
August is an ideal time to enjoy Malta’s warm evenings, coastal atmosphere and active entertainment scene. SummerDaze adds international music to the island’s varied offering, giving travellers another reason to plan a summer escape. Between festival nights, guests can explore nearby Sliema, dine along the waterfront or relax beside the pool at Palazzo Violetta.
Stay at Palazzo Violetta During SummerDaze
Choosing where to stay in Malta can make a festival trip feel like a complete holiday. Palazzo Violetta offers an intimate and welcoming base in Sliema, providing easy access to Malta’s attractions while offering a calm setting away from the busiest entertainment areas. Among Malta hotels, its combination of local character, thoughtful comfort and convenient location makes it an excellent choice for visitors travelling to experience SummerDaze.
