The Grove Gets Jazzy This Weekend

The Grove is set to swing, funk and groove as the world-renowned Montreux Jazz Festival Miami returns to The Hangar at Regatta Grove for a one-of-a-kind weekend of world-class performances.

Bringing a distinctly Miami flavor to the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival — often dubbed “the Rolls Royce of music festivals” — the waterfront celebration blends global artistry with the laid-back vibrancy of The Magic City.

A Playground for Creative Exchange

Montreux Jazz Festival Miami has quickly earned a reputation as more than just a concert series. It’s a playground for creative exchange, where genres blur, legends emerge, and cultural walls disappear.

From surprise collaborations to sprawling late-night jam sessions featuring dozens of artists, each performance feels entirely unrepeatable. The now-famous late night jams — hosted by festival co-founder and 2025 headliner Jon Batiste — have become a calling card for the event. In past years, unannounced appearances from stars like Maxwell, Shania Twain, and Will Smith sent crowds into a frenzy.

Batiste has played an integral role in bringing the spirit of Montreux to South Florida. As the festival’s artistic director, he has helped shape its programming and creative vision from the very beginning — curating lineups that prioritize spontaneity, collaboration, and boundary-pushing performances.

Building on a Sold-Out Success

Following last year’s sold-out edition — which drew coverage from Rolling Stone, Essence, and Forbes — Montreux Miami further cemented its place as one of the most unique and intimate live music experiences in the world.

The 2025 lineup featured powerhouse performances by Batiste, Chaka Khan, Janelle Monáe, WILLOW, Monsieur Periné, Cimafunk, and Latin jazz greats including Chucho Valdés and Paquito D’Rivera.

Now, Montreux Jazz Festival Miami 2026 reaffirms its status as a must-attend cultural moment on the city’s calendar.
