It may have started out as a crazy thought over an Indian meal and a few pints by a small group of rock fans discussing their favourite bands and albums, but Xirka Rock events – two so far, with another tomorrow night – have fast earned a reputation for being a great night out if rock is your thing.

Fronting an all-star line-up of top local musicians from various genres, one might expect a clash of egos within the confined space of the stage, but the Xirka Rock ‘band’ isn’t about ‘who’s better, who’s best’ – it’s all about having a good time playing good old rock ’n’ roll and entertaining the crowd, and this they do with much energy and huge amounts of passion.

The line-up for tomorrow night’s Xirka Rock concert, at the Greek Theatre of the Buskett Roadhouse, reads like a who’s who of the local music scene, with the list so far including Errol Sammut, Ira Losco, Pawlu Borg Bonaci (Fakawi), Red Electrick, Gianni, Ivan Filletti, Peter Paul (Tribali), Frank Calleja (Behead­ed and Slit), Airport Impressions, Gilberto Arredondo (The Creepers), Mikaela Attard and Eliza.

This edition also features local music legend Freddie Portelli.

The concert will also feature an opening acoustic set from Colourblind, Fire’s Kenneth Calleja, Bridget Bone and Debbie Stivala. Doors open at 9.30 p.m.

Tickets cost €7 and are available at the door.
