North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, Netherlands


The wow-power of the prestigious three-day weekend which a legion of world-class artists come together to perform concerts is the North Sea Jazz Festival’s highlight all about.

For more than twenty-five years now, it has been the largest annual gathering of jazz in Europe, spanning the spectrum of blues, fusion, gospel and soul. Legendary names and nascent talents from around the globe perform side by side.  In fact, new talent in Europe in the name of Shirley Horn was discovered because of this festival. It was said that in 2006, the festival was moved from its longtime home in The Hague to Ahoy’ Rotterdam. Despite the change in venue, the festival still promises jazz lovers the same rich experience it always has.
