Love Music Travel – The Montreux Jazz Festival

We are pleased to offer our exclusive package to The Montreux Jazz Festival, the most prestigious music event in Europe. All the greats, from Miles Davis to Ray Charles to David Bowie and Prince have graced the various stages at this hugely eclectic festival. Situated on the beautiful shores of Lake Geneva, surrounded by the snowcapped Alps, the festival offers an epic setting befitting of its world-class line up.

Festival

Founded in 1967 by Claude Nobs the festival was first held at the Montreux Casino featuring mostly jazz artists including the Charles Lloyd Quartet with Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette. In the 1970s, organizers began allowing artists from other musical genres such as blues, soul and rock to perform. Today, jazz remains part of the festivals historic roots, but other musical styles have found their place with a line up last year consisting of eclectic acts such as BB King, Lily Allen, The Black Eyed Peas and Jeff Beck. This years line up is released at the end of April.
