Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre
Address
Level 1, Millennium Stand, The National Stadium Ta' Qali
The venue was established in December 2006 on part of the former Royal Air Force base at Ta Kali which closed in 1968. It has since become the most successful venue in Malta. Prior to opening in Malta, the venue was used by Wembley Arena as a temporary concert venue whilst the main arena was undergoing refurbishment work during 2005 and 2006.[1][2]
Architectureedit
The venue is a Tension Fabric Structure and it has a total floor space of 8,500 m2 (10,200 sq yd) with a 17m apex.[3] The structure contains three RS Marquee Arches with a 30 tonne rigging capacity each. A bespoke removable track system means each six-metre wide arch can be moved along the length of the structure to provide overhead load-bearing capabilities in any position to accommodate the incoming production requirements.[2]
Entertainmentedit
The centre has been used for many musical concerts and shows.
The centre has also been used to host multiple local events, most notably the televised selection show that determines Malta's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. The centre has also hosted Malta's Got Talent, X Factor Malta[5] and Muzika Muzika.
