KW-28-2022: THE HISTORY OF THE MONTREUX JAZZ – FESTIVAL CONTINUES TO BE WRITTEN … At the Auditorium Stravinski, Diana Ross celebrated the very last date of her tour in Europe in Montreux. After an hour and a half show, she gave a touching finale during which she invited her whole family to join her on stage. The audience enjoyed a more human and vulnerable diva than ever. The Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds concert was as hectic on stage as it was backstage, with a 17-camera blockbuster capturing the performance from every angle. Just a few weeks before his appearance, the Australian gave the festival’s audiovisual production team permission to film his concert for commercial release – the only such release of his entire tour.

The great return of the Montreux Jazz Festival kept all its promises. In total, more than 250,000 festival-goers enjoyed the 56th edition under a radiant sky during the entire event. Following the example of the Lake House, the new free venues were taken over by the public from the very first day, validating in the best possible way the Festival’s bet to reinvent its format.
