Description

Over the past 30 years, jazzopen has developed into one of Europe’s top 3 festivals for Jazz & Beyond. Every July, the big stars of the most diverse genres set the rhythm of the city of Stuttgart and celebrate the diversity of music together with over 60,000 visitors. From the jazz-heavy club stages to the main venue on the Schlossplatz, each artist is given the most appropriate stage. Newcomers and world stars do the honours.

Since winning the LEA (Live Entertainment Award of the German music industry) in 2017 and 2018, the jazzopen has attracted worldwide attention. Superstars such as Sting, Lenny Kravitz, Lionel Richie, David Gilmour, Kylie Minogue, Jean-Michel Jarre, Christina Aguilera, Quincy Jones, John Legend, Grace Jones and Herbie Hancock create a highly emotional festival feeling. Its appeal extends far beyond the country’s borders.
