Montreux Jazz Festival took place for the first time in a town near the Lac Leman in 1967. Although the name still remains as a jazz festival, it involves a wide range of music, from rock, soul, blues, regae, to African or South American music. It is known as the world’s biggest music festival, including the participation of big names in the world of music in non-genre.
It is held in July every year, and it will be from July 3 thorough July 18 this year.
There are two main venues : Auditorium Stravinski and Miles Davis Hall.
