We are excited to return on February 28, March 1, and March 2, 2025, to our stunning waterfront setting and first-rate hospitality that perfectly encapsulated the essence of the original Swiss festival, following a successful first event.
Five-time Grammy and Academy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and composer Jon Batiste, who co-owns the festival, is taking on a more expansive role this year. He is curating the entire festival programming, which includes the Legendary Montreux Jam Sessions, emerging artist showcases, special guest appearances, and headline acts.
