About jazzahead!

Launched in 2006, jazzahead! is the largest jazz trade fair in the world. Having grown steadily, the industry gathering is also known as the “family get-together of jazz"; it has never lost its family character. The 40 showcase concerts during the fair and the jazzahead! Festival are also open to the general public. Since 2011, this festival, together with around 60 cooperation partners, has presented the cultural scene of a different partner country each year, and bands from all over the world. These bands perform, among other things, in the CLUBNIGHT in 30 venues in Bremen. Since 2015, jazzahead! has been funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. In 2019 jazzahead! was awarded the title of European Cultural Brand of the Year. In 2021, the industry event took place digitally for the first time due to the pandemic, and the CLUBNIGHT and the gala concert had to be cancelled for the first time.
