These include classic, modern and contemporary rock hits from bands and artists such as Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Queen, Maneskin, Kiss, Pink Floyd, Green Day, Paramore, Blondie, Muse, U2, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Eurythmics, Bryan Adams, Alanis Morissette, Tina Turner and many more. The set list will also include a number of surprise additions.



Rock in the Forest has partnered with our cause for this year’s edition, which promises to be a great success. Through such events, we will continue raising awareness on CF as well as raise funds towards research projects aimed at finding a cure to this disease. We encourage everyone, especially the CF Malta family, to attend Rock in the Forest on 25 August.”

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease caused by a faulty gene. There is currently no cure for this disease even though nowadays there are several treatments which have increased the life expectancy of CF patients.


Over the years, Rock in the Forest raised funds for various charities and NGOs including DAR Bjorn, Terry Time Trust, Dr Klown, Assistance to Children in Care Association (ACICA) and Wateraid.



This year’s concert features the participation of 14 local singers and musicians including guest star

and the event founder David Perotti. The Rock in the Forest core band features Kristina Perotti (drums), guitarists Carl Tanti, Georgius Mifsud (Checkmate MT), Mario Saliba (Bletchley Park, Explicit) and Gianni Zammit, bassist Cliff Smith (Rising Sunset) and drummer Franco Aloisio (who, together with Cliff Smith, were former members of Corkskrew) as well as keyboardist Sergio Bellizzi.

“After last year’s special concert, which was the first one after the pandemic and our tenth anniversary edition, we look forward with great enthusiasm to the eleventh edition of Rock in the Forest. Once again, and, in line with our brand, the event will be held at the magical and unique setting of Chateau Buskett.”


Perotti added: “Following last year’s success, we augur that this year will see hundreds of people attending with the aim of providing them with great entertainment whilst raising funds and awareness on Cystic Fibrosis Trust. I would like to thank our band members, singers, collaborators, partners and all those who make Rock in the Forest possible.”
