Why should you go to jazzahead!?

14 December 2023

Jazzahead! is the must-go event for the international jazz industry. As the world’s largest event where all the protagonists of the scene (musicians, labels, agencies, festival makers, bookers and media representatives) meet, it is considered by professional visitors from all over the world as the “Family Reunion of Jazz”. You can go there to meet new or old contacts, discover new music and connect with likeminded people. This year the Netherlands will be the partner country. Over the past three years, jazzahead has paid a lot of attention to current jazz from the Netherlands. With the Netherlands in the jazzahead! spotlight in 2024, this is the perfect time to make your debut at jazzahead!

What can you expect?
There will be a big Dutch stand at the fair, where you can meet your fellow jazz professionals from the Netherlands. Next to that you can plan your meetings or meet-ups at this booth.
You can also stroll around the fair and meet people from around 60 countries. During the fair you can also attend several panels, visit showcases and network. It’s not often you can meet jazz promoters, agents, records labels & journalists and talk about your projects! Matt Fripp from jazzfuel has a whole guide to jazzahead!
