Why you should trust Underground Sound, your Malta experts
Our team has been based on the island for nearly a decade. We run the international music magazine Underground Sound and embrace the unbeaten path while searching for the best music out there.
We don’t just cover the scene here, we are part of it. From organizing record breaking urban festivals, to freestyle rap competitions and seaside sessions, we curate the best of what Malta has to offer.
Don’t trust the travel organizations and influencers based outside of the islands. We live and breathe Maltese life everyday. Only through this perspective could we have made such an honest and unorthodox, yet comprehensive guide.
After hearing the stories of misguided vacations, we realized travelers are being taken advantage of and purposefully led astray. Through following this guide, you’ll choose the holiday you’re looking for, all while supporting local artists and businesses which bring life to the island we love.
