Organisers of this year’s City of Derry Jazz & Big Band Festival are delighted to launch the Guinness Jazz Trail, making it easier for guests to plan and enjoy their weekend of music.
Let the Guinness Jazz Trail do all the work for you this year, showing you around the many exciting performances that are taking place in the city.
Kicking off next week, The City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival will fill venues across the walled city with world-class performances and thousands of music lovers attending from Thursday 1st until Monday 5th May.
The Guinness Jazz Trail is now live and will be your go-to guide to all that’s happening throughout the five-day music spectacular, which this year features an impressive 400 musical performers taking place across 65 venues.
The entire line up can be accessed online via the official website, while daily listings will be posted on social media, making it easy and accessible for everyone.
Jazz Festival Coordinator with Council, Aisling McCallion, said they were delighted to launch the Guinness Jazz Trail and hoped it helped everyone make the most of the weekend.
“This year’s festival line-up is jammed packed with incredible international artists, travelling in from across the globe to deliver what we believe will be the biggest festival yet. Festival goers will be spoilt for choice with our list of alfresco concerts, indoor gigs, dance workshops and jazz parades taking place over the entire city from Thursday until Monday.
“The Guinness Jazz Trail is the perfect guide to help our audiences navigate their way around the many gigs and ensure they make the most of their time visiting the festival, whether that’s by going to see their favourite artists or by checking out exciting new acts.
“There is a fabulous array of talent to take in, and we don’t want anyone to miss out.
Martin Venning from Diageo said it would be an unforgettable weekend. “Diageo is delighted to continue supporting this fantastic festival, which celebrates the vibrant cultural scene here in the North West.
“It’s the perfect platform for both established local performers and new up and coming talent, who join world class artists from across the world for a show-stopping weekend that brings so much value to the local.”
The City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival is delivered by Derry City and Strabane District Council with support from Diageo and EY.
