The Montreux Jazz Festival takes place for two weeks every summer in Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Geneva. Created in 1967 by Claude Nobs, the Festival has become over the years an essential event, generating fantastic stories and legendary performances. Nearly 250,000 spectators come every year, enjoying a breathtaking setting and concerts with renowned acoustics.

While jazz, soul and blues are at the roots of this event, other music genres found their place early on, including many electro, house and techno acts. In addition to the main concerts, over 250 DJ sets are free to attend each summer in picturesque venues, including a nightclub built on the lake

Moby
A true icon of modern music is coming to Ostrava. Moby, one of the most influential artists of the past three decades, will bring a performance that promises euphoria, emotion, and joy. The New York–born producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist reshaped the face of electronic music with his breakthrough album Play , where he fused driving beats with gospel, soul, and ambient textures in a way that resonated with millions of listeners worldwide. At Colours of Ostrava, Moby will present a powerful live set filled with timeless tracks such as Porcelain, Natural Blues, and Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?, reminding us why his music reaches far beyond the dance floor. Known for his deep humanity, activism, and artistic sincerity, Moby returns to the stage backed by a strong ensemble.
