Katy Perry to Headline Isle of MTV Malta 2026

Katy Perry has been confirmed as the headline act for the 2026 edition of Isle of MTV Malta, marking one of the biggest bookings in the event’s history.

The globally renowned artist is set to perform on 22 July 2026 at the Floriana Granaries (Il-Fosos), Malta’s iconic open-air venue. The performance will also mark Perry’s first-ever appearance in Malta, adding further significance to this year’s festival. 

Known for a catalogue of international hits including Firework, Roar, and California Gurls, Perry remains one of the most commercially successful pop artists of her generation. Her involvement is expected to elevate the profile of the festival, which already attracts tens of thousands of attendees annually. 

Since its establishment in Malta in 2007, Isle of MTV has grown into Europe’s largest free music festival, hosting global acts such as Lady Gaga, David Guetta, and Jason Derulo. 

Perry’s appearance forms part of her wider European tour schedule in 2026 and is anticipated to be a major highlight of Malta’s summer events calendar. Further details regarding the full line-up are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
