With 80 acts, XJazz is Berlin's largest jazz festival and aims to cross stylistic boundaries with innovative artists.
The XJazz Festival will be held for the tenth time in May 2024. The festival presents a broad and contemporary understanding of jazz that includes electronic music, singer/songwriters and neo-classical music.
The focus of the festival is the current Berlin music scene. Artists living and working in Berlin will play shows in unique constellations. More than 70 concerts in different locations will take place in 2024.
"For us, the main thing is to represent the new spirit in the music scene. There are no more style boundaries. People appreciate each other and have fun together," says curator Sebastian Studnitzky. "We present artists who make fresh, innovative and genre-crossing music. Both with the artist selection and the venues, we want to attract new interested audiences who are up for exciting acts."
