KeLoKe brings its Swedish festival experience to Malta for the first time, from Friday 27th to Sunday 29th November 2026 at the Paradise Bay Resort in Mellieħa, with a welcome party on Thursday at Barrio Latino in Sliema. The lineup includes Ricky & Nanda, Quevin & Serap, Junior & Carolina, Alejandro El Sueco, Anna Baila, Sarita and Oscar Niño, with DJ Paulito, DJ Mania and DJ Dominic. Each night has its own dress theme: Tricolor Night on Friday, Black and White Elegance on Saturday and Denim Night on Sunday. The resort is also the festival hotel.

A first edition with a proven team behind it and a winter sun location, which makes it an easy add to a short Malta break. The resort setting means you can stay where you dance, while the Thursday party in Sliema gives early arrivals a head start. Prices already went up on 31 October, so the current tier is the one to grab.
