This ex- citing open air show, has been in the works for months with lead actress Maria Buckle re- hearsing together with the rest of the talented cast to tell the story of a prodigy who chooses to defy all odds by challenging the highly conservative male dominated society she was born into. Joan is a defiant and determined female who will stop at nothing to acquire the knowledge she's been so un- fairly denied of. Music JULY 9 Dream Theater Rock 'N Malta presents pro- gressive metal pioneers Dream Theater promising a unique, complex yet melodic, hard yet emotional brand of rock which is as sweet on the heart as it is crushing on the bones. Fans can expect a startlingly sub- lime synthesis of soaring and unmistakable melodies and the virtuoso guitar playing of John Petrucci in a live per- formance that is big, long and diverse as only Dream Theater can make it. JULY 18 Liam Gallagher Live in Malta If you had to make an equa- tion of all the elements that made the early Oasis singles so apocalyptically good - i.e. huge waves of guitar hooks + melo- dy you can't shake for…ever + thunderous rhythm + LIAM GALLAGHER'S VOICE deliv- ering an unbelievably catchy chorus - then Wall Of Glass fits in the lineage perfectly. It's hard to recall a time he's sung better - it's like hearing him for the first time again, the same yearning menace that claimed a million hearts by the end of Supersonic's first chorus. His voice is definitely on point. Date: Thursday 18th July. Venue: Il-Fosos. Doors Open: 7pm.
