Event Description
Hugel will perform a set at Fort Manoel on August 29, 2026. The French producer and DJ, a global figure in Afro House, will play an open-air set in the 18th-century fort facing Valletta — one of the most spectacular venues of the Maltese season. 6 PM to 11 PM, including sunset.
Florent Hugel, born in Toulouse, started with commercial House in the mid-2010s before transitioning to the Afro House sound that defines him today. The remix of "Bella Ciao" with El Profesor was released in 2018 — over 1.5 billion streams, one of the most streamed dance tracks of the decade. Since then: Ibiza residency, Tomorrowland sets, North and South American tours, collaborations with Diplo, Merk & Kremont, Topic.
Hugel's Afro House — African percussion, deep bass, Mediterranean melodies — finds a perfect setting at Fort Manoel: historic stone, surrounding sea, sunset over the harbor. An international audience, average age 25-40, an open-air festival atmosphere rather than a club. An evening that stands out from the classic nightlife calendar.
