XJAZZ! FESTIVAL 2024 LINE-UP
ABOUT THE XJAZZ! FESTIVAL:
SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2014, WHICH TURNED THE GERMAN JAZZ SCENE ON ITS HEAD, XJAZZ! FESTIVAL HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR CAUSING A STIR. BORN FROM AN INDEPENDENT AND GRASS-ROOTS DESIRE TO BREAK WITH CONVENTIONS, THE FESTIVAL OFFERS A PLATFORM FOR BOTH ESTABLISHED AND LESSER-KNOWN ARTISTS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES WITHOUT RESTRAINTS, MERGING STYLES AND STRETCHING-OUT THE DEFINITION OF “JAZZ” TO A MUCH BROADER AND MORE EXCITING LANDSCAPE THAN WHAT IS TRADITIONALLY ALLOWED.
THE XJAZZ! VENUES ARE SPREAD ALL OVER KREUZBERG WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF EACH OTHER. PUT TOGETHER YOUR INDIVIDUAL PROGRAM AND MOVE FROM CLUB TO CLUB. OUR VENUES ARE BY FAR NOT CLASSIC JAZZ CLUBS BUT ESTABLISHED, LEGENDARY LIVE VENUES IN BERLIN-KREUZBERG LIKE FLUXBAU, PRIVATCLUB, LIDO, FESTSAAL KREUZBERG AND MANY MORE. THE EMMAUS CHURCH, WELL KNOWN BY XJAZZ!, IS THE CENTER OF THE FESTIVAL.
