Gibraltar Music Festival is an
annual music festival held in Gibraltar since 2012. The event is organised
by the Government of Gibraltar as part of the celebrations running up to Gibraltar National Day.
Gibraltar Music Festival has grown
in recent years and now includes some of the biggest names in rock and pop like
Duran Duran, The
Script, Ne-Yo and Kings of Leon. It
takes place in Victoria Stadium, which is named after Victoria Beckham,
who visited the peninsula with her husband while he was playing for Real Madrid
in the early '80s. The event is firmly
established as one of Europe’s major summer festivals, featuring international
headliners and showcasing local talents.
On 17th
of January MTV UK has announced first ever partnership with HM Government of
Gibraltar. Gibraltar Music Festival will evolved into MTV Presents Gibraltar
Calling, which will be staged at the Victoria Stadium across two days on the
2nd and 3rd September this year.
With its sunny
climate and stunning views, Gibraltar is a fantastic location for an outdoor
live music event. Along with the music, the festival also offers a wide selection of
food and drink to cater for all tastes, and a children’s area with
entertainment. The festival has a family friendly atmosphere and its unique
location offers a one-of-a kind experience and an unbeatable aura.
