Celebrating 60 Years of the Montreux Jazz Festival 🎢✨

July 29, 2026

Looking back at a truly historic edition: the 60th anniversary of the Montreux Jazz Festival ! This milestone marked the Festival’s return to the newly renovated 2m2c Montreux Music & Convention Center, providing a spectacular setting worthy of this iconic event.

🎢 More than 250,000 festival-goers came together.

🎷 16 days of music, passion and unforgettable encounters.

✨ Countless memorable moments were created across the Auditorium Stravinski, the Montreux Jazz Lab and the Festival’s free stages.

Beyond the music, the Montreux Jazz Festival is a powerful driver for the destination. It enhances the international reputation of Montreux and the surrounding region, generates significant economic and tourism benefits, and strengthens the appeal of a destination renowned for its hospitality, creativity and cultural heritage.

This rich musical and cultural legacy was further recognised in November 2023, when Montreux joined the UNESCO Creative Cities Network as a Creative City of Music.

The next edition is already on the horizon: the Montreux Jazz Festival will return from 2 to 17 July 2027. 🎢✨

We already look forward to welcoming you back to the shores of Lake Geneva for more unforgettable moments of music, emotion and creativity.
