      It’s a music festival. You either like it or you don’t. Not sure what the issue is.

      Would be interested if it was actual Indian music (classical) but it looks like a generic edm festival, will have to look into it further, thanks for bringing it to my attention

      I remember back in my childhood there was a massive foreign music festival headlined by that noted foreigner, Tina Turner. I can’t say I noticed anyone campaigning against it. I wonder what could be different with this festival.

      Same as I feel about the many festivals organised with international (mostly western) celebrities…. I don’t like festivals and I don’t attend them.  

      Having said that, it seems like nearly a third of our resident population is foreign, and a significant number of those (not all) are from India.  It’s naive to think that they won’t bring their cultural traditions with them. This also happens with Maltese traditions in Australia, Canada and other countries where a large diaspora of Maltese people still exists. Nowadays Malta has a significant Indian diaspora and it’s unfair to expect them to forget their roots to integrate in to the local culture.

      Maltese people generally mind their own business. If they don’t like something, they don’t go. It isn’t complicated.

      Don’t see the problem. Fun for Punjabi people right? And others who might enjoy their culture? Festivals are often displays of culture and to let others taste or experience the culture at hand. So there’s no problem with you visiting, especially if you are paticularly interested. Bet the people will love it if ur enthusiastic about their interests and style.

      The questions some people ask on this sub make you wonder whether they think they’re on North Sentinel Island.

      I’m assuming that this is a music festival of Punjabi music, speaking Punjabi by Punjabi artists.

      If this was held 30 years ago I wouldn’t have a problem with it, because it would be for the Maltese, assuming of course that there would even be a market for it.

      Today, I am very unhappy and unwelcoming to this. It has nothing to do with Maltese cultural interests whatsoever and seems like its only being hosted here because there is already a large foreign Indian/Pakistan population that, like so many others, are not integrating but bringing with them their own culture.

      Even the name, Breaking Borders, is provocative.

      i honestly dont care for music usually. as for why its a punjabi music festival, I dont see an issue? Im native maltese, not punjabi but people can still enjoy music regardless of their ethnicity or nationality. Our music teacher from like 7th / 8th grade (form 1 / 2) would tell us that music was a language used to communicate. Why do you care about a music festival being punjabi? a festival should bring people together and remove our divisions and hatred
