Jazz, blues, swing, soul and more against the beautiful backdrop of Hamburg - ELBJAZZ attracts thousands of visitors from near and far to the port of Hamburg in July. For two summer days, the Hanseatic city is all about jazz music. Several stages on the Blohm+Voss shipyard grounds offer the concentrated diversity of jazz and its various forms.

Today, ELBJAZZ is one of the largest and most popular jazz festivals in the country and even the whole of Europe. Here, die-hard jazz connoisseurs get their money's worth, as do open-minded music lovers who have had little contact with this genre of music and who might otherwise prefer to listen to pop, hip-hop, rock or electronic music. ELBJAZZ features acts that are firmly rooted in jazz as well as those that are more broadly associated with it. This offers plenty of variety and exciting listening experiences!

The maritime ambience of the Port of Hamburg exudes an irresistible charm and crowns the two-day festival. The main stage on the Blohm+Voss site is surrounded by shipping containers and cranes. When the seagulls are circling, the sun is shining or the harbor lights are already illuminating the summer evening, you have a cool drink in your hand and traditional or innovative jazz sounds can be heard from the stage, then it's pure magic - the Hamburg way.

For passionate jazz lovers and curious music enthusiasts, for locals and tourists alike, ELBJAZZ is always one of the event highlights of the year. And once you've been there, you'll understand why - and keep coming back.
