UNO Malta has officially announced that global electronic music heavyweight Loco Dice will headline its highly anticipated S26 Opening Party on Friday 1st May 2026.
Landing on a public holiday, the event promises a full-scale day-to-night marathon that marks the official kickoff to the island’s summer season.
The UNO Opening Party has long cemented itself as a landmark date on Malta’s entertainment calendar. Every year, thousands of locals and international visitors gather for the free event, transforming the venue into the epicentre of the island’s first major summer celebration. Once the doors open, summer begins — and there’s no easing into it.
This year’s headliner needs little introduction. Loco Dice, a global icon in electronic music, is known for his deep, driving sound and high-impact sets that blend house and techno with unmistakable groove. From Ibiza residencies to the world’s biggest festival stages, he brings an energy that feels tailor-made for an open-air Maltese night.
Set within the heart of Ta’ Qali’s newly renovated crafts village, UNO Malta remains the island’s largest open-air nightlife venue. The expansive grounds and multi-venue layout allow for a dynamic party experience, consistently hosting world-renowned DJs while delivering a production scale that defines Malta’s summer scene.
With free entry and a public holiday lineup, the S26 Opening Party is expected to draw massive crowds ready to welcome the new season in signature UNO style.
