Preparations are in full swing for tomorrow's international Music Mania festival, which is assembling some of the finest local and international names in the dance and pop circuit.

The dance festival, being held at the national pool, Tal-Qroqq, and organised by Pres Production & Event Services, is expected to kick off at 9 p.m.

The master of ceremonies is MC Base, whose name is synonymous with the dance festival scene in Europe.

Some of the foreign names playing include DB Boulevard, Erika, Magic Box, Hannah Rose, Tuesday's Child, L13, DJ Mauro Miclini of Radio Deejay and DJ Clara Da Costa, also known as Miss Bisto of Ibiza.

Among the Maltese artistes will be Kashmir, Toby, Scream Daisy, Fabrizio Faniello, Annalise, Kristina Casolani, DJ Gianni, DJ Toni Tony and Miss Roberta.

DB Boulevard, who at the moment are occupying top positions both in the Italian and English charts with their song Point of View, will be launching Believe, their new single.

Dance festivals are becoming increasingly popular in Europe, and are gradually replacing the night-long parties.

The most popular dance festival at the moment is the Berlin Love Parade, though British dance maestro Fat Boy Slim held a massive dance festival in Brighton beach earlier in the summer.

An impressive lighting rig together with a specially designed platform has been put in place at Tal-Qroqq.
