Montreux Jazz Festival will be held 04 to 09 Jul 2025 in Montreux, Switzerland. Montreux Jazz Festival is the second largest annual jazz festival in the world after Canada's Montreal International Jazz Festival. This is a music festival in Switzerland, held annually in early July in Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline. The Montreux Jazz Festival was founded by Claude Nobs in 1967.. But originally a pure jazz festival, it opened up in the 1970s and today presents artists of nearly every imaginable music style. Jazz remains an important part of the festival. Today's festival lasts about two weeks and attracts an audience of more than 200,000 people. In the 1970s, the festival began broadening its scope, including blues, soul, and rock artists, for instance Marianne Faithfull, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Deep Purple, Canned Heat and many others. Towards the end of the decade, the festival expanded even more, including music from all continents (with an emphasis on Brazilian music) and lasting a full three weeks. This is the festival you just can’t miss out on – you never know what might happen. over the years the Montreux Jazz Festival has become an unmissable event for music fans in Switzerland and around the world. Montreux Jazz Festival is an event and I like events...
