Right, listen up party people, if you’re planning a trip to Malta this summer, or you’re lucky enough to already live on this sun-soaked island, then get this date circled, underlined and highlighted in neon: Saturday 16 August. Why? Because, on Saturday 16 August, the iconic BBC Radio 1 Dance Weekend is making its highly anticipated return to the island, and it’s bringing one of the biggest names in the game with it: David Guetta. 

That’s right, the global DJ megastar, hitmaker, and absolute dance legend is heading back to Malta, and he’s set to take over UNO Malta for one unforgettable night under the stars. If you’ve never been to UNO before, it’s one of the island’s top open-air venues, surrounded by palm trees, filled with thumping sound systems, and known for its electric atmosphere. It’s basically the perfect spot for a summer rave.

Now, let’s talk about Guetta. The man needs no introduction, but we’ll give him one anyway. With decades of chart-topping hits under his belt (Titanium, Memories, I’m Good, to name just a few), and a career that’s seen him headline the world’s biggest festivals. Expect big beats, bigger drops, singalong moments, and enough energy to keep you going well into the early hours.

But Guetta isn’t the only one bringing the noise. Joining him is none other than Becky Hill, one of the UK’s most powerful vocalists and an absolute force in the dance music world. Her voice has featured on countless hits (Remember, Crazy What Love Can Do, Gecko (Overdrive)) and her live shows? Nothing short of electric. Expect singalongs, sass, and plenty of hands-in-the-air moments.

Also hitting the stage is Charlie Hedges, one of Radio 1’s own and a DJ who knows exactly how to fire up a crowd. With her deep roots in dance and house, she’ll be bringing floor-fillers, club classics, and those tunes you didn’t know you needed until you’re right in the middle of them.

And then there’s Jeremiah Asiamah, who blends afro-house, UK funky, and global beats into something completely his own. He’s one of the most exciting DJs on the rise, and his sets are all about energy, rhythm, and movement. If you’re looking for something fresh and vibrant, he’s your guy.

Even better? There’s more artists still to be announced, so the party is only getting bigger from here. Trust us, this is going to be one of those nights people talk about for ages.

Now, the important bit, tickets. You can grab yours over at Tixify for just €30 + €3 booking fee. That’s a proper steal for a night of world-class DJs, top-tier vibes, and memories that’ll last way past summer. But don’t sleep on it, this will sell out faster than you can say “Ibiza who?”

With a great summer shaping up on the islands, Radio 1 Dance: Malta is the one to be at. Great music, a stunning venue, and a crowd that’s there for nothing but good vibes. So grab your mates, sort your outfits, and get ready to dance the night away. This August, Malta goes off. See you at the front!
