Creating unforgettable emotions and memories for these artists from all over the world is the best way to make them come back to Montreux as often as possible and continue to give the public the unique and intimate experience of the concerts of this extraordinary festival.

Other collaborations between the different forms of artistic expression (music and cinema) will take place within the framework of the Montreux partnership with the Zurich Film Festival, thanks to which music and cinema are now united.
