Kongsberg Jazz Festival will celebrate its 60-years anniversary in 2024 and is today one of the main jazz festivals in Scandinavia. The festival runs over four days in July every year and presents a varied line-up of over 100 Norwegian, Nordic and international acts within modern jazz, experimental/free jazz and more commercial genres. The concerts take place in intimate club venues as well as big outdoor venues. Kongsberg Jazzfestival also hosts its own children’s festival, youth talent schemes and an international delegate programme. 

“We believe in equal opportunities regardless of gender, and by taking the Keychange-pledge Kongsberg Jazzfestival will contribute and commit to this important work with a particular focus on the jazz sector. We are looking forward to take part in the Keychange-network, exchange knowledge, experiences and best practice examples with other Keychange-organisations.“
