Experience Ben Böhmer live on July 3rd

Ben Böhmer is scheduled to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 3, 2026. He is a German DJ and producer known for his melodic deep house and progressive house sound, often incorporating emotive piano melodies and atmospheric textures into his productions. His work frequently appears on labels like Anjunadeep, and he has gained recognition for both his studio albums and live performances, which often feature improvisational elements.

The Montreux Jazz Festival, established in 1967, holds a significant place in music history. Originally focused on jazz – attracting legends like Miles Davis, Nina Simone, and Ella Fitzgerald in its early years – it has broadened its scope over decades to encompass a diverse range of genres including rock, pop, blues, and electronic music. The festival’s venue is primarily the Montreux Casino, but performances also take place in other locations throughout the town on Lake Geneva.

A defining characteristic of the festival is its intimate setting and emphasis on live performance quality. It's renowned for spontaneous collaborations and iconic recordings; notably, Deep Purple’s *Made in Japan* album was partially recorded during a performance at the festival in 1972.
