YAZZ News 6 – 2025
A big thank you to our festivalgoers!
This year’s festival was a success!
Thank you for coming, enjoying the music, applauding and giving the artists standing ovations. Some artists simply couldn’t resist giving you many and long encores! There was a wonderful atmosphere!
Over 12,000 people attended 35 concerts and events, half of which offered free admission.
We have met audience members who travelled from as far away as Japan and Brazil.
Reviewers have travelled to Ystad from the USA, UK, FR, IT, CH, BE, LUX, DE, PL and DK.
30% of the audience and 80% of the reviewers were international!
Radio Sweden’s P2 Jazzradion programme recorded four concerts that will be broadcast this autumn.
