jazzahead! Festival

The jazzahead! festival, which takes place parallel to the jazzahead! trade fair from 24 to 26 April 2025, presents bands from all over the world in the Hanseatic city in collaboration with around 60 regional, national and international cooperation partners. The festival programme consists of 38 showcase concerts, a gala concert and a CLUBNIGHT, during which around 30 venues throughout the city will become jazz hotspots. In 2025, jazzahead! will focus not just on one partner country for the first time, but on an entire region: the RECONNECT edition will once again link up with former partner countries Spain (2012), France (2015) and Switzerland (2016).
