Raye, Smashing Pumpkins, Tems and Duran Duran Set for 2024 Montreux Jazz Festival


After a triumphant night at the 2024 Brit Awards, where she scooped a record six trophies, Raye will perform on the Lake Stage,

Organizers roll out the changes for this year’s 58th edition, including fresh layout with a new main stage erected on top of famous Swiss lake, and a return to the historic Casino, the scene of the classic Pink Floyd concert from 1970, and which was later razed and inspired Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water”. Established in 1967 by late jazz connoisseur Claude Nobs, the festival has hosted many of the greats of contemporary music, from Prince to David Bowie, Nina Simone, Quincy Jones, Marvin Gaye, Elton John and others. Nearly 250,000 spectators attend the event in a regular year, which continues to evolve and introduce audiences to styles and tunes well outside the broad world that is jazz, with a bill that also takes in pop, hip-hop, afrobeats, trip-hop, classic rock, soul and funk.
