Montreux Jazz Festival

Venue

The festival was originally held at the old Montreux Casino, which burned down in December 1971. ("Smoke on the Water" from Deep Purple tells that story.) The festival was held then in other auditoriums in Montreux, until it could return to the rebuilt new Casino in 1975. The festival continued to grow, and in 1993, it moved to the larger Convention Centre. Since 1995, it has occupied both the Convention Centre and the Casino.
