In Montreux the celebrated Jazz Festival

One of the great 'historic' jazz festivals, the Montreux Festival, kicks off, boasting a line-up featuring many stars; but the festival does not end with the concerts, rich as it is with numerous other venues for DJ sets and jam sessions. From the water of Lake Geneva to that of the Aeolian Islands, where artists and audience are equally on boats. Immersive experiences and VR instead in Rome, with a site-specific installation featuring the music of Oscar winner Giorgio Moroder.

From 5 to 20 the 58th Jazz Festival, one of the most famous, with more than 400 concerts on 11 stages, and DJ sets, screenings, jam sessions, and pool parties. The line up includes Deep Purple, Sting, Massive Attack, Jamie Cullum, Duran Duran, Lenny Kravitz, Tyla, Alice Cooper, Rag'n'Bone Man, Air, Diana Krall, Soft Cell, d4vd, Yamê. But then there's the Jazz Lab, which features younger musicians; the Lake House, which is open until 5am; La Coupole with DJ sets; the American-style jazz club The Memphis with its jam sessions until 5am; the Super Bock Stage, which is basically a beer hall; the more up-and-coming trends at Lisztomania, while the more intimate electro-pop scene is at Terrasse Ibis Music.

From 5 to 7 between Salina, Lipari, and Panarea the Aeolian Music Fest, where the concerts are held on the water, the artists are on the deck of a sailing ship and the audience is on boats. The line up includes great artists and new proposals, to embrace everyone's tastes: from Subsonica to Marlene Kuntz, from Willie Peyote's rap to Diodato and Elisa.

From 5 to 7 at the Gazometro Ostiense 7th edition of Videocittà, with the site-specific installation, entitled 'Nebula', signed by Quiet Ensemble and Giorgio Moroder, one of the most influential figures in electronic and disco music, Oscar and David di Donatello for Lifetime Achievement. On the 7th the Orchestra of the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in a tribute dedicated to Moroder's music.
