Three days. Three completely different venues. One festival. Spiral Festival (31 July – 2 August 2026) isn't a stand-in-one-field weekend — it's a moving journey across Malta's party geography, powered by EXIT. Here's how to live it right.
The concept
Rather than one site, Spiral moves each day: a village mega-club, a sunset icon, then a beach. Each day demands a different strategy — pace yourself accordingly. First names announced: Fatboy Slim, Nina Kraviz, Lilly Palmer, Argy.
Day 1 · Friday 31 July — Gianpula Village (the big night)
The heaviest night of the three: open-air main-room energy until late. Strategy: afternoon nap, late dinner, arrive 23:00. Day 1 tickets.
Day 2 · Saturday 1 August — Café del Mar (the golden hour)
Complete gear change: arrive before sunset (~19:45), infinity pool views over St. Paul's Bay, and let the music carry you into the night. Bring smart-casual, not club-black. Day 2 tickets.
Day 3 · Sunday 2 August — Toy Room Beach (the cool-down that isn't)
Swimwear, sunscreen and one last dance with your feet in the water at Tigné Seafront. The perfect closing chapter.

Quick answers
Full pass or day tickets?
Doing one day: pick your vibe. Two or more: the pass wins on price and hassle.
Is each venue far apart?
All within ~20 minutes of St Julian's by taxi. Shuttles often run for Gianpula nights.
