Festival — jazzahead!
 

Festival

The jazzahead! Festival turns Bremen into the metropolis of jazz!

Every year in April, the jazzahead! Festival takes place parallel to the jazzahead! trade fair in Bremen. Together with numerous cooperation partners, we organize a city-wide music and cultural program around the world's largest meeting place for the jazz scene.
In 2023, the festival will focus on Germany, a very special partner country. From April 27 to April 30, we can look forward to a modern and surprising sound!

These are the jazzahead! Festival's three program elements
