Drumcode Festival

We are heartbroken to have to give you the news that, due, to an accumulation of unresolved problems with Pollen, the company responsible for providing venues, ticketing and accommodation for Drumcode Festival Malta, we no longer have confidence in their ability to deliver the rigorous high standards of safety and customer experience we demand of an event presented under our name.

In the best interests of everyone due to attend, we have been left with no other responsible option but to cancel the event.

Over recent weeks it has become clear that Pollen's arrangements for customer and venue safety, suitable staffing and financial management do not meet the requirements of the high quality events we take pride in delivering. We have made every effort to work with them to resolve these issues but, despite their repeated assurances, critical deadlines at the end of last week passed without the necessary improvements being made.

These serious failings, compounded by the absence and lack of communication of key Pollen staff and the well publicised difficulties that the company is currently experiencing, left the delivery of the event compromised to the extent that we could not continue our involvement in good faith.
