This is technically called Euphoria Weekender, but let's call bullshit on the name when it's now 6 days and 7 days next year, because Rick is an overachiever :) I wrote an more detailled report last year, and don't really want to repeat everything I wrote there, so I recommend you look at that page

  • I alo need to note that when so many events fail to provide set times, or even just order of DJs so we have a chance of knowing who is playing, EW provided this before the event started, remaining an example for others to follow:


    I arrived just before sunset for Day 0 at Nine Lives:



    Great to run into friends again:







    and make new ones:






    And one big plus from Euphoria, is still the number of DJs you can meet and chat with:









    Many parties, many days, I'm just going to give all the party pictures at once, 6 days! :)


    Psytrance! Thank you!

    As part of the multiple venues, my favorite is still Gianpula which has so many clubs within it, and fantastic staff, much better than Uno for instance. They take the job seriously, and it shows:














    had a wonderful chat with Anthony, so glad to have him back

    The days were long, often 12h or more. People who showed up around opening time each day, were heroes:





    And one last day, starting at noon:


    the views didn't suck :)

    6 days, it was a lot :) I did my best to attend most of it, but I did miss some hours. No idea who managed to go to every hour or clocked the highest attendance :)

    Should you go?

    Just like I said last year, if you're looking for a big party with big name DJs, Euphoria is not where you want to go. Consider Rong in May (the bigger of the 3 with lasers and confetti and smoke and fireworks :)) ) or Captured in Sept as an in between answer (not too big, but some bigger name DJs).
    But if you wanted the most trance money can buy (and it's honestly very well priced), Euphoria is where it's at. There is literally no trance event that lasts 6 or 7 days, so that puts things to rest right there :) Also, as mentioned below, no event matches the family feel you get at EW, that means a lot to me, and makes that event special.

    Like I said last year, Since I'll always regret never having been to Lumi 10 years ago when it was nice and small, it was actually fantastic to be able to experience this with Euphoria, and really I have to repeat how nice it was to have a festival where we were all one, no VIP, no backstage passes, and DJs coming to party with us and chat and have fun! I do seriously mean that this is the most "by trance lovers for trance lovers" event I have been to.
    And seriously, which other event do you get to play survivor, at? I'm usually pretty good about attending events from start to finish, including the insane hours of EDC Vegas, but for Euphoria 'Weekender', good luck to you, you can always try and go to each and every hour ;)

    I also need to add that there was an optional boat party. I didn't go as I had gone to 3 already and I would have been barely up and awake, but I heard it was a much better boat with more space and better sound than the previous boat parties I had been to, so I guess I missed out.

    The variety of venues was good, great to enjoy different views and setups, although that also meant no matter where you stayed, you were not close to the venue every day :) This is true of all 3 Malta events. All the venues had nice security, which is always a big plus. All of them also allowed paying with real money, no fake money BS. Thank you!

    Just like last year, Euphoria was absolutely a unique event (and I mean that in a very good way :) ), and it was lots of fun to attend this year again. As always, huge thanks to the organizers and the numerous DJs who played for our enjoyment. Thank you!
