YAZZ News 1 – 2025
Dear Jazz Friends!
At last, we can begin to draw back the curtain on this year’s festival, featuring artists you have likely never seen live, as well as some cherished reunions.
Festival Kick-Off & Closing
The festival kicks off on Wednesday, July 30 with an opening concert at 1:00 PM at Ystad Saltsjöbad. And then it goes on. Last summer’s closing day in Charlottenlund Castle Park left us wanting more, so we are rounding off this year’s festival in the castle park on August 2.
Ticket Release
Tickets for all of the festival’s concerts will go on sale Tuesday, April 15 via ystadjazz.se. As a friend of the Yazz Festival, you will be offered a pre-sale for the tickets.

At last, you get to meet the big band that has been active in Ystad for nearly 50 years! They have performed with, among others, Isabella Lundgren, Peter Asplund, Vivian Buczek, Svante Thuresson, Meta Roos, Kjell Öhman, Filip Jers, and many more. The band will be accompanied by Karin Tingne—a force of nature from the Scania plains—to Charlottenlund!
To Quincy with love – Bohuslän Big Band, Nils Landgren, Viktoria Tolstoy, Ida Sand
Charlottenlund Castle Park, Saturday, August 2 at 6:00 PM
Quincy Jones passed away in November, so he has surely been reunited with his friend Bengt Arne Wallin. The two performed in our grand Quincy Jones 80th Birthday Tribute during the 2012 festival. Perhaps you were there? We want to show our love for Quincy’s music and honor our two honorary ambassadors by reminiscing about that magnificent concert.

Before This Summer’s Festival, We Present:
Close-Up with Lill Lindfors – March 22, Ystad Theatre
The festival’s ambassador, Lill Lindfors, hardly needs any introduction. She is a superstar with an irresistible charisma!
But Lill Lindfors at Ystad Theatre is so much more. In the intimate setting of the theatre, accompanied only by a guitar, the connection between the artist and the audience becomes very personal. Lill cannot hide behind a booming band; she must give her all on stage. She will likely even be able to hear the audience’s every breath! A close-up concert with Lill Lindfors is something truly special. On stage, Lill is accompanied by guitarist Mats Norrefalk.
All proceeds from the concert will go to the Ukraine collection, with both the artists and Ystad Theatre contributing generously.
Organizers: Ystad Sweden Jazz and Ystad S:t Petri Rotary Club
Close-Up with Lill Lindfors
