Jazzorwhatever!? - Day 1
Welcome to the 3rd Edition of Jazzorwhatever!?
We're back at the beautiful Brandbau, and we've been working hard to make this our best edition yet. Our commitment remains the same: to create an unmissable experience for music lovers who crave something beyond the ordinary.
This year, we're expanding with a second intimate stage in the Brandbau basement. This atmospheric space will showcase smaller setups and carefully curated DJ sets, bringing you closer to the music and the artists. Expect raw energy, experimental sounds, and those magical moments that only happen in underground venues.
Join us for a musical journey where jazz takes flight in every direction. Experience the fusion of classical melodies with contemporary beats, traditional instrumentation with electronic innovation, and smooth grooves with vibrant rhythms.
This is where genres dissolve, generations connect, and jazz reveals its infinite possibilities. Whether you're a dedicated jazz lover or simply someone who appreciates great music, Jazzorwhatever!? promises an unforgettable celebration of sound. See you at Brandbau.
In collaboration with Radio 100,7
