Montreux Jazz Festival 2019

The Montreux Jazz Festival is a music festival held annually in early July in Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline. It is the second largest annual jazz festival in the world after Canada's Montreal International Jazz Festival. Founded in 1967, it now features all genres of music, not just jazz.

Since its beginnings, the Festival has developed its range of activities considerably. The Festival universe now flourishes all year long: the Montreux Jazz Artists Foundation, dedicated to educational projects and training a new generation of artists; the Montreux Jazz Café restaurants, veritable ambassadors of the Festival spirit across the world; the Claude Nobs Foundation, whose mission is to preserve and valorize the world’s most extensive audiovisual concert archives.

The line-up is, as always, amazing. It includes Sting, Elton John, Janet Jackson, Rival Sons, Slash, Bobby McFerrin, Lewis Capaldi, ZZ Top, Cat Power, Joan Baez, Thom Yorke, James Blake, George Ezra, Rag'n'Bone Man, Bon Iver, The Chemical Brothers, Rita Ora, Tom Jones, Joe Jackson, Mac DeMarco, Lizzo, Janelle Monae, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Quincy Jones and many more.
