The Montreux Jazz Festival is not only about the 2 main stages where the big stars are performing. It really worse coming as you can see many free concerts at the Parc Vernex.

After the concerts on the main stages, many stars are coming to the Montreux Jazz café - Last year Prince came down and did the show for 30 minutes !!!  It worse trying....

If you prefer the electronic music, choose the MDH club and if you like the house Music, walk to the Studio 41 which is at the Royal Plaza. 

For eastern music lovers, go to La Rouvenaz for live eastern music from 12:00
