Practical tips for Music Week
- All events are strictly 17+ with original photo ID
- The after party and boat party historically sell out first — book those before you fly
- Stay around St Julian's/Paceville to be 10 minutes from everything
- Mix in a rest day — check the events calendar for lighter options
