Hundreds of Eurovision Song Contest fans attended the official pre-party of the Malta Eurovision Festival 2011 which featured the 24 competing acts in the Maltese national final. Euro Club Malta was the biggest Eurovision party ever organised on the island.

Eurovision fever hit Malta as a massive crowd flocked to Tattingers club to support all the competing singers in this year’s national selection. Last year’s Eurovision representative Thea Garrett opened the party with her dance remix of My Dream. Olivia Lewis followed her on stage and performed her popular remix version of Vertigo while later on it was Morena who rocked the stage with her Eurovision entry Vodka. All competing artists in the Maltese selection performed their songs.
