Bonjour from Montreux
Welcome to the Montreux Jazz Festival ticker. From the first to the fourth day of the festival, blue News will be reporting live on site. The weather gods have been gracious at the start of the renowned music festival: the sun is shining and the thermometer is expected to climb to 26 degrees today.
Over the next 16 days, visitors will be able to enjoy music on 11 stages - 5 paid and 6 free. And always in a breathtaking setting with views of Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountain panorama.
If you can't make it to the Montreux Jazz Festival, you can stay up to date with the blue News ticker. And best of all, you can watch various concerts live - from the comfort of your sofa on free TV on blue Zoom or streamed on blue News.
In a fantastic location with a view of the lake and the surrounding mountains: the 58th edition of the Montreux Jazz Festival starts on July 5. The line-up includes top-class artists such as Lenny Kravitz, James Arthur, Henry Moodie, Raye and Deep Purple. Visitors can be enchanted by romantic indie anthems by The National, freestyle techno hits by internet sensation Marc Rebillet, jazz classics by Jamie Cullum or R&B hits by Raye.
The festival attracts music enthusiasts to the shores of Lake Geneva until July 20. This year, fans can expect a lot of new things, as the organizers have revealed in advance. With a lakeside stage and without a convention center. The really big concerts will take place in stylishly staged locations on the water and in the casino.
