DNCE and Jonas Blue confirmed for Isle of MTV Malta 2017

MTV, in partnership with the Malta Tourism Authority, has announced that multi-platinum selling, funk-pop band, DNCE, and chart-topping DJ and producer, Jonas Blue, will take the stage at this year’s ISLE OF MTV MALTA live music festival. Both acts will join The Chainsmokers in performing for thousands of festival goers at this must-see event when it returns to Malta’s Il Fosos Square on Tuesday, June 27.

Making their global debut in 2015, with their triple platinum-selling breakout smash, Cake By The Ocean, DNCE (Joe Jonas, Cole Whittle, JinJoo Lee and Jack Lawless) recently took home the win for “Best PUSH Artist” at the 2016 MTV EMAs and “Best New Artist” at last year’s MTV VMAs. Their self-titled debut album, DNCE, released in November 2016, charted internationally and includes the follow-up hit singles, Toothbrush and Body Moves. Their new single, Kissing Strangers, features global superstar Nicki Minaj and is currently the most added song at Top 40 radio in the US.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have DNCE and Jonas Blue join us in Malta this summer. Isle Of MTV 2017 is pacing to be our best ever!”- Bruce Gillmer, Head of Music and Music Talent, Viacom Global Entertainment Group.

2016 MTV EMA nominee, Jonas Blue, took the music industry by storm in last year with his debut single, Fast Car, featuring Dakota. Selling over 6 million records worldwide, it was the biggest selling single globally of the year from a debut British artist. This followed with equally great international success with his second and third dance hits, Perfect Strangers, featuring JP Cooper, and By Your Side, featuring RAYE. Jonas is poised for continued worldwide success in 2017 and beyond, having now sold more than 13 million records and been streamed 2 billion times.

“I can’t wait to bring my live band to party with you at this year’s Isle of MTV! Looking forward to seeing you all there in Malta on June 27.” – Jonas Blue

The sunny islands of Malta, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, are home to a most remarkable concentration of intact built heritage, including the highest density of UNESCO World Heritage sites in any nation-state anywhere. Valletta, built by the proud Knights of St. John, is one of the UNESCO sights, and the European Capital of Culture for 2018. Malta’s patrimony in stone ranges from the oldest free-standing stone architecture in the world, to one of the British Empire’s most formidable defensive systems, and includes a rich mix of domestic, religious, and military architecture from the ancient, medieval, and early-modern periods. With superbly sunny weather; attractive beaches; a thriving nightlife; and 7,000 years of intriguing history, there is a great deal to see and do.
