See dates and ticketsWHAT IS GIANPULA VILLAGE?
Gianpula Village is a large open-air complex in the countryside near Rabat and Ħaż-Żebbuġ, in the centre of Malta. Instead of a single club, it has several spaces among palm trees and gardens, each with its own stage, bars and sound system.
The best known is the Main Room, a huge open-air arena with an arched stage, light shows and CO2 cannons. Other spaces such as Marrakech or The Village are used for smaller nights or open alongside the Main Room when the complex is full.
MOVE IT! AT GIANPULA
Move it! Malta is the reference reggaeton party in Malta and the one that brought together the most people at Gianpula during summer 2026. Every edition brings Reggaeton, Dembow, Trap, Afrotrap and Urban with guest artists, dancers and our mascot, from 22:00 to 04:00.
The room grows with the season: we open in a smaller room (or indoors if the weather is bad), move to Marrakech as Malta fills up, and spend high season in the Main Room. Some weeks we have had three rooms of Gianpula open at the same time.
