Venues

Jazz concerts in Germany are organised in steady venues but many clubs, some with a long tradition, are associations, which organise concerts at changing locations. There are about two thousand live music clubs and concert organisers in Germany. Approximately 700 of them offer a regular jazz programme. Many of these organisers and clubs offer a mix of local and international acts. The following alphabetical list concentrates on major clubs and venues but many, many more interesting concert organisers and venues are scattered all over Germany. An overview can be found in Wegweiser Jazz, an interesting insight into the current activities of the German club scene can be gained by looking at APPPLAUS winners, an annual German-wide prize which honours good programming (https://www.initiative-musik.de/en/awards/applaus/).
