Music events Luxembourg

The city of Differdange organizes every year several festivals with free entrance that attract thousands of spectators. Thus, since 2004, the Blues Express has been held every July on the former mining sites of Fond-de-Gras (which houses the Minett Park open-air museum) and Lasauvage. During the course of the day, no less than 50 local, regional and international bands play on a dozen stages. Of course, it is mainly blues music that is involved, all in a very friendly fair atmosphere.

Organised since 2000 in the late summer by the city of Esch-sur-Alzette, this pop music festival is on the heights of the city. He was preceded for two days by the Street Festival. There are many free animations in the streets of Esch.

The World MeYouZik world music festival, organised by the Luxembourg City Tourist Office (LCTO), takes place in the open air in the centre of Luxembourg City. It is unique in its kind and offers concerts on four stages: Place GuillaumepII, Place de la Constitution, Rue du Saint-Esprit and Place d'Armes. The festival is also home to the MeYouVillage, located on Place de Clairefontaine, which brings together Luxembourg associations and NGOs. Their aim: to make people discover crafts and gastronomy from elsewhere, as well as their ongoing humanitarian projects.

Launched in 1982 in France by Jack Lang, then Minister of Culture, the Fête de la Musique is today the first emblematic event in Europe. This event takes the form of a festival open to all, both amateur and professional musicians, promoting the diversity of genres, styles and musical crossbreeding. It is aimed at all audiences, of all ages and all social conditions. In Luxembourg, it takes place all over the country, not only on 21 June, but also the days before.

Since 1975 and until 2018, Echternach hosted an internationally renowned music festival. This festival allowed to experience music in an exceptional setting, whether in the basilica, in the Saints Peter and Paul church overlooking the city or in the cultural and congress center of Echternach, the Trifolion. Since 2019, the event has been transformed into the Echterlive festival, which offers rock, pop, jazz and classical music concerts, outdoors but also in small cafes in the city.

This international music and theatre festival takes place in the open air in the amphitheatre of Wiltz Castle. It was founded in 1953 and was originally an event devoted solely to theatre. Thanks to its success, dance, operas and musicals have been added to the programme to the delight of the many visitors. Today, the Wiltz Festival is undoubtedly an unmissable event in the north of Luxembourg, during which spectators discover unique shows.
