Jon Batiste, Janelle Monae and Cimafunk will headline the second annual Montreux Jazz Fest Miami next year. The weekend event returns to The Hangar at Regatta Harbour, in Miami’s Coconut Grove, which is a 1500-capacity venue. The festival will run from February 28 to March 2, 2025.
Batiste, who is co-owner of the festival, curated the 2025 lineup which includes the Bogota-based ensemble, Monsieur Periné. More 2025 lineup announcements are expected soon.
Besides Batiste and Cimafunk, the inaugural lineup included Daryl Hall of Hall and Oates, the Wailers, pianist Justin Kauflin, singer Cecile McLorin Salvant, singer Emily Estefan, Montreux veteran Daniela Mercury and singer/songwriter Seu Jorge.
First-timers to the festival can expect after-hours jam sessions each night with Batiste and his band Stay Human, as well as masterclasses for VIP ticket holders and food from some of Miami’s best restaurants.
