Lake of Stars 2017

Lake of Stars is a multi-genre music festival held annually on the banks of Lake Malawi. Widely regarded as one the most scenic locations for a musical festival anywhere in the world, the lakeside town of Chintheche plays host to music-lovers and artists both from Malawi and from across the globe.

The festival was established as a means to promote Malawi as a tourist destination, showcase the beauty of the nation and its cultural heritage, bring money into a developing country, and raise funds for charities and relief efforts.

Musically, the lineup is an intriguing combination of Malawian musicians and globally renowned acts – with the likes of Foals, Young Fathers and Annie Mac among those who have played on the stunning lakeside stages in recent years.
