BBC RADIO 1 DANCE: MALTA 2026

On Saturday 22 August, BBC Radio 1 Dance lands at UNO Malta for a large-scale summer event combining international artists, live broadcast and festival-level production. Set inside one of the island’s biggest open-air venues, the night brings together a lineup led by John Summit, Jonas Blue, Charlie Hedges and Jeremiah Asiamah, with more names expected to be announced. The format blends club energy with a wider festival feel, built around high-impact sets and a crowd moving from early evening into late night. With BBC Radio 1 broadcasting live from Malta, the event carries a different scale, connecting the island’s dancefloor directly to a global audience while maintaining the energy of a packed local crowd. UNO’s multi-space layout, large capacity and open-air setting make it ideal for a night like this, allowing the atmosphere to build steadily as the evening progresses and the lineup unfolds. Entry is strictly 18+ and valid photo ID is required. No re-entry once inside the venue.
