Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2016 reveals complete line-up with over 1300 concerts

The 38th edition of Copenhagen Jazz Festival starts Friday, July 1. With more than 1300 concerts spread throughout 120 venues in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, the city manifests yet again that it can live up to its reputation as a diverse and progressive jazz city.



The festival continues to exhibit top international names, and at the same time, manages to reflect the vivid Copenhagen jazz scene that unfolds the genre and offers improvisation, modern jazz, swing and countless offshoots of jazz as an art form. In other words, live experiences for all: geeks and jazz newbies; children, youth and older generations; purists, party people and avant-garde experts. Copenhagen Jazz Festival is open to everyone. Copenhagen Jazz Festival sets new record with 120 venues and more than 1300 concerts across the historic jazz capital.

Since 1979 Copenhagen Jazz Festival has been taking over Copenhagen as one of Europe’s largest and most important international music events based on eminent artistic quality and a sharp focus on new departures in both Danish and International jazz. Lasting 10 days, the festival envelops the Danish capital, offering a sumptuous musical feast to a total of 250,000 visitors who join us year after year. Enjoying live jazz in the city’s gardens, squares and streets, in its famous clubs, concert halls and cafés, and at open-air night venues – all in the very heart of historical Copenhagen.
