Jazz à Vienne

Every summer in June and July, the biggest names in jazz meet in the small and ancient town of Vienne, 30 kilometers south of Lyon. For two weeks, this usually sleepy town is completely transformed: bars are packed, streets are filled with all kinds of musicians and the omnipresent festival-goers rush from one place to the other in search of music and swinging rhythms. The epicenter of this artistic explosion is found at the top of the old town in the Roman Theatre. Themed nights are organized, and include blues, Afro-Cuban and other international genres. Please mind that this festival features concerts in multiple venues. Some of those concerts might appear as separate events on Eventseeker.
