On the evening of Saturday 21 July 2025, the 29th edition of Luxembourg’s Blues’n’Jazz Rallye welcomed thousands of music enthusiasts to venues throughout the Pfaffenthal, Clausen and Grund districts of Luxembourg City to immerse themselves in a mix of blues, jazz, funk, soul and hip hop.
The festival, organised by the City of Luxembourg (VdL), hosted 45 bands across several indoor and outdoor venues at the foot of the remains of the city's fortifications and old quarters, with stalls, food trucks and bars set up to provide refreshments throughout the evening and night.
To facilitate the festival, the VdL temporarily closed several roads to traffic, modified existing bus routes and implemented a shuttle bus service to help transport people to and from various parts of the festival site.
Seven open-air stages were set up at Place Auguste Engel (Grund), Neumünster Abbey (Grund), Melusina (Clausen), Place Emile Mousel (Clausen), Parc Mansfeld (Clausen), Theiwesbuer (Pfaffenthal) and Sang & Klang (Pfaffenthal) to host the main acts from the festival’s programme, with additional mini-concerts held at a select number of cafes and bars across each of the districts.
The international line-up, which included groups such as English funk and soul group Cymande, Parisian electro-jazz five-piece Electro Deluxe, Franco-Caribbean jazz fusion musician Adi Oasis and Luxembourg’s The Nightcallers, provided a series of dynamic and diverse concerts, creating a family-friendly atmosphere where people of all ages were able to enjoy the festivities.
