Set to make its debut March 1-3, 2024 at The Hangar in Coconut Grove, FL, the line-up for the inaugural three-day event will include a headlining performance from multi-Grammy® and Oscar® winner Jon Batiste, who along with a group of partners has worked to bring the iconic Montreux Jazz Festival to Miami; Batiste, co-owner of the event, will also serve as the Miami festival’s Artist Ambassador. Announced headliners also include Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer Daryl Hall and Brazilian singer, songwriter Daniela Mercury, with supporting acts, masterclass lineup, and special guests to be announced in January 2024.
To recreate the intimacy of Montreux, Switzerland, Montreux Jazz Festival Miami will be primarily hosted in The Hangar, a 1500-person, waterfront venue in Coconut Grove, assuring the ultimate fan experience. Attendees will also experience sunset concerts featuring emerging musicians on an outdoor stage adjacent to The Hangar in Coconut Grove. Programming at the venue will also include music masterclasses and the Legendary Montreux Jam Session.
