This year’s line-up brings together some of Malta’s most familiar rock performers for an evening of classic hits and newer favourites. Expect music by Queen, Foo Fighters, Guns N’ Roses, Pink Floyd, Green Day, Ghost, and more, all performed live by a brilliant mix of artists.

Confirmed performers for 2025 include:

• Georgius Mifsud (Checkmate MT) – vocals and guitars
• Jeanelle Newell (Thirteen Years Later, ex-Unchartered) – vocals
• David Ellul Mercer – vocals
• Sarah De’ Marco – vocals
• Simaria Galea – vocals
• Kristina Perotti (Majestik, Pumps, Thirteen Years Later) – drums & percussion
• Franco Aloisio (ex-Corkskrew) – drums & percussion
• Cliff Smith (Thirteen Years Later, ex-Bitterside, ex-Corkskrew) – bass guitar
• Sergio Bellizzi – keyboards
• Max Paget (Majestik) – guitars
• Mario Saliba (Bletchley Park, Explicit) – guitars
• Special guest: Thea Aquilina (Majestik) – vocals

There’s a proper mix of sound here from high-energy stadium anthems to more melodic classics, and the performers are seasoned regulars on the Maltese rock scene.

Foodies fear not. If you’re keen to grab food while you’re there, the on-site bar and restaurant will be open all night, serving burgers, hot dogs, pizzas, drinks, and more. While there’s plenty of space to stand and enjoy the music, table bookings are available, too. Just message the team on their Facebook page (@RockInTheForest) or email krisper01@outlook.com to reserve in advance. You’ll also find onsite parking.

Tickets cost 14 euros plus a booking fee and can be booked online via Showshappening or bought at the door on the night.

It’s also worth mentioning that this year’s edition is being held in support of Inspire Malta, a prominent local NGO, so your ticket also supports a great local cause!
