The next edition of the highly-popular Rockestra concert will be held on September 27, President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca said this morning.
As in previous years, the concert will be held at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali to raise funds for the Community Chest Fund.
The theme of this year’s edition – the sixth – will be Don’t Stop Believing. The theme, the President said, had two purposes. The first was addressed to those who were suffering some serious illness and who were being encouraged to fight on. The second was to new bands which this year are being invited to take the Rockestra stage for the first time.
As in previous years, Mro Sigmund Mifsud will lead the National Orchestra.
The organisers have this year prepared cut-outs of popular bands which people can take photos with on Palace Square as from tomorrow. (see below).
