GENERAL

Forward Motion on the Rock is a boutique festival for the over 25s, bringing together a diverse crowd of ravers who all have one thing in common – they share a love for house music. From sold-out events across London and Ibiza, it’s now time to spend 4 days and 4 nights together as a family on the beautiful island of Gozo, where we celebrate music, freedom and life in the sun.

The Festival is being held in Malta on the island of Gozo which you can access via a short ferry. It takes 30 mins from the airport to the port and the Ferry journey time is 25 mins. 

Forward Motion On The Rock takes place 18th -21st September 2025. 

We are working on a mega lineup. 1st phase will be released very soon 

Full party program and set times will be released shortly before the festival takes place 

Malta’s nice and hot in September, and has an average high temperature of 28ºC. You’ll need your swimwear and beach gear for the day, and only some light clothes for the evenings, as temperatures may  drop to 20ºC 

No outside food or beverages are allowed in the festival. All our venues will have multiple bars and food will also be available to purchase on-site.
