Jazz in Malmö

Malmö has a lively and varied jazz scene, with concerts ranging from traditional swing and vocal jazz to experimental, contemporary and international performances. Throughout the year, local musicians share the city's stages with established artists and rising talents from Sweden and abroad.

Jazz concerts are held at several venues across Malmö rather than at one permanent jazz club. Programmes and locations change regularly, so it is always worth checking the current event calendars before your visit.

Jazz i Malmö

Jazz i Malmö is one of the city's most important jazz organisations. It arranges concerts, jam sessions and special events at different venues throughout Malmö, featuring both local musicians and international guests.
