Seeing as pre-sale sold out today and general sale tickets are released tomorrow, we thought it was perfect timing to do a blog post on our top tips for those of you considering going. You’re mad if you’re not...
Dress naked
We weren’t sure how warm it would actually be considering
it was April but it was hot even at night – only really wore our jackets when
walking back to hotel in the morning.
This year the festival is being held in
May so imagine it’ll be even hotter yaaas
Transfer tokens with your card
AMP uses tokens as a method of payment instead of cash (euros). We found the exchange rate was better when using our card – first day we exchanged with notes but then later on in holiday used card and got more for our money
Boat Party and Castle Rave
We were g u t t e d to miss out on the castle rave tickets especially, sold-out same day they came out! We recommend buying tickets immediately after release if you do plan on going lovelies
Airport transfers

Cannot recommend them enough! For just under £30 we got a private car that picked us up and dropped us off at the festival. The drivers were so lovely too, especially the gent that picked us up – recommended loads of restaurants and beaches to go visit; like a little travel guide.

We didn’t have the heart
to tell him our lives were going to revolve around being drunk shaking our bums
in the Maltese sun to sexy DJs for the 4 days.
Stay in Qawra
The number of hotels will be limited however this is hands down the better location. Our reasoning for this is because it’s close to Café del Mar (CDM). All the pool parties are held here and the shuttle buses to Uno (night location) depart from Café Del Mar.
Qawra is quite a small area of Malta so no matter where you stay you’ll only be a short walk to CDM. There are a lot of hotels/apartments in Bugibba so if you do decide to stay there instead just be prepared to walk the strip (30mins) or get taxis – can always split it with other festival goers.
Pre-Party
Make sure you attend the pre-party night before – we found out the location because it was posted on the AMP Twitter and Instagram – was absolutely heaving! Proper set the tone for the holiday as well as we met so many people that we continued to see during the festival.
Book your return flight 2 days
after festival finishes
We made the error of booking our flight the morning
after the final festival date. We forgot to incorporate the fact the festival
will actually finish at 5am the following day.
We were still dancing our hearts
out to MK at 4.30am and our taxi was coming to collect us from the hotel at 7am
same day – as you can imagine the mad dash (not even close to sober) to get the
shuttle, walk to hotel, pack, shower and check-out…was MADNESS. It’s made a
hilarious memory but we never plan on doing it again!
Hangover cure
McDonalds
in Bugibba centre is so boujiee and perfect for when hungover lol It’s got an
actual café downstairs and upstairs there is a really pretty balcony made of
decking with tables to sit on – perfect for people watching as well because it
overlooks Buggiba Square
Book Shuttle Bus Pass
Costs £50 But totally worth it. It comes as a wristband and
you get unlimited use throughout the 4 days. There’s always a bus to pick up or
drop off – literally no waiting time (unlike Hideout where we waited hours) and
if you’re staying close to Café Del Mar even more perfect!
We didn’t need to use taxis but quite a few people used to get the shuttle at night from Uno to Café del Mar then get a taxi to Bugibba (10 min car ride). We’re not sure if taxis were dear or not but found the shuttle system super easy to use so would 100% do it again.
