Rain at the Montreux Jazz Festival "We can't influence the weather, we adapt"

This year, the Montreux Jazz Festival has to make do without the Auditorium Stravinski due to renovation work. Some of the concerts will therefore take place outdoors. How do people at the festival cope when it rains heavily, as it did on Saturday evening?

Rain is known to make you beautiful. But bad weather at a festival can be a real pain.

How do visitors to the Montreux Jazz Festival find it when the clouds over the region really empty out on Saturday evening? One passer-by takes it calmly and gets to the point: "We can't influence the weather, we adapt to it."

Although the weather gods don't mean well with the music fans on the second day of the festival, they don't let it spoil their mood. Anyone strolling along the promenade is equipped with either a rain jacket or an umbrella.

One visitor to the renowned festival not only wrapped herself up well, but also put a rain cover over her rucksack: "I saw that it was going to rain and prepared myself for it."

Watch the video to find out how music fans on Lake Geneva prepare for the rain and whether they still attend the concerts.
