Jazz Open 2026: the jazz and pop festival in Stuttgart, Germany

Jazz Open takes over Schlossplatz in Stuttgart every year for twelve days of open-air concerts, from July 1-12. Created in 1994, this festival now attracts over 50,000 spectators and blends excellent jazz, international pop, and alternative rock in the historic center of the Baden-Württemberg capital.

The 2026 edition features an eclectic lineup of 10 headliners, including American superstars KATY PERRY and MOBY, funk rock legend LENNY KRAVITZ, and the UK's JAMIROQUAI. Jazz is represented by Jamie Cullum and Joss Stone.

The festival casts a wide net, from contemporary jazz to electro, blues, and pop soul. Nick Cave brings his touch of gothic rock and post-punk, while TEDDY SWIMS and Dagny complete this palette with neo soul, indie pop, and singer-songwriter.

From July 1-12, 2026, Stuttgart's Schlossplatz becomes the beating heart of live music in Germany. Discover the full lineup on FestT.
