This exciting open air show, has been in the works for months with lead actress Maria Buckle rehearsing together with the rest of the talented cast to tell the story of a prodigy who chooses to defy all odds by chal- lenging 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 unfair- ly 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 performance 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 then Wall Of Glass fits in the lineage per- fectly. It's hard to recall a time he's sung better - it's like hear- ing him for the first time again, the same yearning menace that claimed a million hearts by the end of Supersonic's first cho- rus. His voice is definitely on point.
