Since 1967, the Montreux Jazz Festival has become a “must” for music fans in Switzerland and around the world, offering impressive line-ups of acts from many different musical styles. There will be more than 450 paid and free concerts in numerous venues, including concert halls, outdoor stages, boats, trains, two palaces, a hotel, a castle, and many parks.
This year’s line-up includes, among many others, James Arthur, The Smashing Pumpkins, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Dionne Warwick, Kokoroko, Dianne Krall, Jamie Cullum, Massive Attack, Lenny Kravitz, Rag’N’Bone Man, Sting, Raye, Janelle Monáe, Soft Cell, and Duran Duran.
Montreux is located about 2.5 hours; best to go by train as parking is limited. Special train discounts apply for the festival, and the train station is only a few minutes’ walk from the festival sites.
Tickets are starting at CHF 88 and are available at https://www.montreuxjazzfestival.com/en/. Many events on outdoor stages and parks are free, so making a trip to Montreux to soak up the music and atmosphere in is well worth the trip.
