Tigullio
Your favourite French rapper, live, steps from the beach.
If you're on holiday in Malta and don't want to choose between the beach and French rap, Tigullio solved that problem. It's THE venue that hosts showcases from some of the biggest names in French rap on the island — artists you listen to back home, live, in Malta.

Intimate atmosphere, close-up stage, sound that hits hard: this isn't some giant festival where you watch your favourite artist as a tiny dot on a screen. Here you're in the room, you feel the energy, you're screaming the lyrics with hundreds of other hyped-up French speakers.
The crowd is mostly French-speaking, so zero language barrier, zero feeling lost at a Maltese night out you don't fully understand. You get the vibe of a French concert, with Malta's setting as a bonus.
St Julian's is the district that never sleeps in Malta, so after the showcase the night carries on easily in the bars and clubs around it. Tigullio is often just the starting point of a night that doesn't stop.
