The 2025 Montreux Jazz Festival has revealed its star-studded lineup for its 59th edition on Thursday, April 10, and prolific artists are expected to perform.
Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, Noah Kahan, J Balvin, Benson Boone, Shaboozey, and Diana Ross are slated to perform, among others. The event will take place from July 4-19 alongside the shores of Lake Geneva. Chaka Khan is expected to open the night with a tribute to the late Quincy Jones (“To Quincy With Love”), though it will also mark 50 years of making music for him.
“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.”
