Experience Montreux Jazz Festival

Nestled on the shores of Lake Geneva in Montreux, Switzerland, the Montreux Jazz Festival is a globally renowned music event with a rich history dating back to 1967. Founded by Claude Nobs, it initially focused on jazz but rapidly evolved to embrace a diverse range of genres including rock, blues, soul, funk, and electronic music.

The festival primarily utilizes the Montreux Casino, a stunning Belle Époque building that provides a uniquely intimate and architecturally striking performance space. Legendary performances have graced its stages – from Miles Davis and Ella Fitzgerald in its early years to Freddie Mercury & Queen’s iconic 1992 concert (recorded for *Live at Wembley '86* due to a fire damaging the original tapes), and contemporary artists like Lady Gaga and Lizzo.

Unlike many festivals, Montreux maintains an air of exclusivity and sophistication. Its lakeside location offers stunning views, and the town itself transforms into a vibrant hub during the ten-day event. The festival's commitment to recording almost every performance has created an extensive audio & video archive – the Montreux Sounds Archive – preserving musical history.
