RECONNECT: jazzahead! is looking forward to partner countries Spain, France and Switzerland in 2025
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 program around the world's largest meeting place for the jazz scene. In addition to the showcase festival, the program includes the Opening Ceremony, the CLUBNIGHT and a fringe program.
In 2025, there will be a RECONNECT edition presenting a partner region for the first time, focusing the former partner countries Spain (2012), France (2015) and Switzerland (2016). From April 24 to April 26, we can observe the developments in these strong jazz countries since they were last the focus of the jazzahead! trade fair and festival. The three neighboring countries were selected as partner region in order to promote artistic exchange between them and beyond in connection with the important topic of „Green Touring".

In parallel to the official Showcase-Festival the jazzahead! CLUBNIGHT will take place in about 35 venues in Bremen. CLUBNIGHT is not part of the showcase festival.
The booking of the bands will be handled exclusively by the clubs, but jazzahead! will help arrange country or label nights and will also forward showcase applications selected by the artistic management team to the clubs on request. So there is no additional application process.
