Speaking ahead of the event, Simonds Farsons Cisk Business Support Manager Adolf Vella commented: “From pop, rock and indie to ska, punk, metal and reggae, with even a dash of jazz and lots of acoustic acts, this year's line-up has something for everyone.”

He also added: “With over 70 performances spread across three stages, this year's festival is that little bit more special.

“The bands in this year's line-up are all local and we have also gone to great lengths to cover as many angles of the local music scene as possible.

“Ten days of great music, live and direct from the top acts of the local scene, all coming together at this year's Farsons Beer Festival.”
