This July, Moldejazz returns to the coastal town of Molde—once nicknamed “the Nice of the North”—for a week where world-class jazz meets spectacular Norwegian nature.
We are proud to present to you a powerful and diverse lineup featuring 15 acts that each, in their own way, represent the festival’s identity: bold, innovative, and deeply rooted in jazz’s many expressions. This first announcement combines international stars, new Norwegian voices, tradition bearers, and genre-defying projects — a clear signal of the festival’s ambitions for the year ahead.
