MTV today announced global producer and DJ sensation Alesso as its co-headliner for Isle of MTV Malta 2023, with Tom Grennan and Mimi Webb also set to take to the iconic Il-Fosos Square stage on 18th July. Starting today, fans can secure free tickets to the festival via isleofmtv.com.
A global maverick in the dance world, Swedish hitmaker producer and DJ Alesso is responsible for anthems such as “Heroes (we could be)” with Tove Lo, “Words” with Zara Larsson, “When I’m Gone” with Katy Perry, “Under Control”, “Let Me Go” with Hailee Steinfeld and Florida Georgia Line and “If I Lose Myself” with OneRepublic. Known for his eclectic genre-transcending collaborations, electrifying live shows and iconic dance floor fillers, Alesso is set to perform at major festivals and events around the globe this summer.
After first gaining attention for his Chase & Status collaboration on "All Goes Wrong", Tom Grennan now has three Top 10 singles - two Platinum-selling - a Number One album and over one billion streams under his belt. Tom's debut album featured hit singles “Found What I've Been Looking For” and "Something Better" and was quickly followed by smash-hit second album single “Little Bit of Love”.
The loudest ones light up the room the brightest, and nothing truer could be said of Mimi Webb. In just two years the breakout artist has surpassed 1 billion global streams, amassed an international following with multiple chart-topping tracks including “House on Fire,” “Good Without” and “Red Flags”. Mimi released her critically acclaimed debut album Amelia on March 3, 2023, which debuted at #4 on the UK albums chart. Mimi has toured across the world and will continue her run of leading festival dates with an appearance at Isle of MTV.
Alesso, Tom Grennan and Mimi Webb join previously announced, GRAMMY®-nominated band OneRepublic on this year’s Isle of MTV Malta line up.
“It’s been a minute since I’ve visited Malta but I always enjoy my time there. The island is a beautiful destination for many people over the Summer and I’m looking forward to coming back and having a fun time!” said Alesso.
“I’m buzzing to be playing in Malta, this is my first time to be playing in the country and to do it with MTV will be special. And alongside some amazing artists too! Can’t wait to get out there & join the party!” said Tom Grennan.
“So excited to get to beautiful Malta and take the Isle of MTV stage! Can’t wait!” said Mimi Webb.
