The 2025 Montreux Jazz Festival revealed the stacked lineup for its 59th edition on Thursday (April 10), with Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, Noah Kahan, RAYE, Alanis Morissette and Diana Ross slated to perform.
The beloved festival set on the picturesque shores of Lake Geneva will take place between July 4-19 and feature an opening night celebration of the late music icon Quincy Jones by soul legend Chaka Khan (“To Quincy With Love”), as well as a set marking Kahn’s half-century of music-making, with the Casino stage hosting a James Blake solo piano set that same night.
“I feel honored to be returning to open the Montreux Jazz Festival this year, joining so many world class artists,” Khan said in a statement. “I’m equally proud to be bringing some special guests with me, to pay musical tribute to my friend Quincy Jones; one of the best friends that music and Montreux ever had.”
The always eclectic programming will then bring Argentinian rapper Trueno and Colombian superstar J Balvin to the stage on night two, while Brazilian singer/songwriter Seu Jorge will share a bill with fellow Brazilians Anavitória. Among the other acts slated to perform this summer are: Brandi Carlile, Royel Otis, Samara Joy, Dianne Reeves, London Grammar, Rüfüs Du Sol, Leon Thomas, Jorja Smith, Lionel Richie, Portishead singer and solo artist Beth Gibbons, Shaboozey, Yseult, Jamie XX, Leon Bridges, Pulp, Bloc Party, Finneas, FKA Twigs, Benson Boone, Sam Fender, The Black Keys, Santana, Sigrid and many more.
