International beer brands such as Carlsberg, Budweiser, Guinness, Newcastle Brown Ale, Kilkenny, John Smiths, Beck’s and Corona are also available at the festival.<br /> <br /> The food court at the festival offers a mix of dishes from all over the world as well as other favourites.<br /> <br /> The official festival beer mug, collected by many year after year, is sold at the bars with the beer of choice or at the souvenir stall selling other special brand merchandise.<br /> <br /> Malta’s established artists and bands perform every night; on two stages since 2001. The festival is also known to be a starting platform for many up-and-coming bands and artists who are given the opportunity to perform to a large audience.<br /> <br /> ==2011==<br /> In 2011, due to the numerous enquiries received from new bands and artists to perform in the festival, the organizers decided to collect all applicants and give them the opportunity to participate in an event to showcase their talent. [[Rock the Fest]], a music competition organised in collaboration with Vodafone and Hard Rock Café, was held at Hard Rock Café in Baystreet throughout June and ended last week. Two winning bands, and a surprise third band, judged by local music professionals as well as public votes, have been given the opportunity to perform on the Rock Stage during the 2011 festival. The winning bands were [[Bridget Bone]], [[12th Ode]] and [[Plan Zero]]. They appeared at the festival on Friday 22 July, Tuesday 26 July and Friday 29 July respectively.<br /> <br /> The Farsons Great Beer Festival iPhone App was launched ahead of the 2011 edition. The app includes a map of the festival area, the schedule of entertainment on both stages, and other features.<br /> <br /> ===Main Stage Performers===<br /> Friday, 22 July 2011: [[Roc-A-Tac]] ~ [[Charles Camilleri]] ~ [[Siconix &amp; Minik]]<br /> <br /> Saturday, 23 July 2011: [[Zoo]] ~ [[Cruz]] ~ [[Amber]]<br /> <br /> Sunday, 24 July 2011: [[Cash Band]] ~ [[Joe Demicoli]] ~ [[Lyndsay Pace]]<br /> <br /> Monday, 25 July 2011: [[Tribali]] ~ [[Glen Vella]] ~ [[Raquela]]<br /> <br /> Tuesday, 26 July 2011: [[Roc-A-Tac]] ~ [[Crosswalk]] ~ [[Debbie Axisa Farrell]]<br /> <br /> Wednesday, 27 July 2011: [[Airport Impressions]] ~ [[Ally]]<br /> <br /> Thursday, 28 July 2011: [[Characters]] ~ [[Ozzie Lino]] ~ [[Christabelle]]<br /> <br /> Friday, 29 July 2011: Reflex 80s Party ~ [[Wayne Micallef]] ~ [[Deborah C]]<br /> <br /> Saturday, 30 July 2011: [[Freddie Portelli]] ~ [[Thea Saliba]] ~ [[Fran Galea]]<br /> <br /> Sunday, 31 July 2011: [[Big Band Brothers]] ~ [[Kultural]] ~ [[Sidewalk]]<br /> <br /> ===Rock Stage Performers===<br /> Friday, 22 July 2011: [[Red Electrick]] ~ [[Bridget Bone]]<br /> <br /> Saturday, 23 July 2011: [[The Rifffs]] ~ [[Texanna]]<br /> <br /> Sunday, 24 July 2011: Juuls Reggae Party Ft One Love Sound ~ [[Bletchley Park]] ~ [[Dolls For Idols]]<br /> <br /> Monday, 25 July 2011: [[Loathe]] ~ [[Club Murder]] ~ [[Indigo]] Darkpsych ~ [[Norm Rejection]] ~ [[In The Name Of<br /> <br /> Tuesday, 26 July 2011: [[Xirka Rock]] ~ [[BNI]] ~ [[12th Ode]]<br /> <br /> Wednesday, 27 July 2011: [[Eve Ransom]] ~ [[The Creepers]] ~ [[Purple Haze]]<br /> <br /> Thursday, 28 July 2011: [[Areola Treat]] ~ [[Cable 35]] ~ [[Saving Alexis]]<br /> <br /> Friday, 29 July 2011: [[Rug]] ~ [[Ivan Filletti]] ~ [[Plan Zero]]<br /> <br /> Saturday, 30 July 2011: [[Fire]] ~ [[Frenzy Mono]] ~ [[A Day Too Late]] (Ex-Blade)<br /> <br /> Sunday, 31 July 2011: [[Fakawi]] ~ [[Relikc]] ~ [[Dana Mckeon]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.farsons.com/beerfestival Official website]<br /> * [http://www.facebook.com/thefarsonsgreatbeerfestival The Farsons Great Beer Festival page on Facebook]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Music Events in Malta]]</div>
