MJF Spotlight Sessions 2025: discover the stars of tomorrow in Villars!

Future stars in a sumptuous setting: the MJF Spotlight Sessions are back in Villars! Six emerging artists have been selected by the Montreux Jazz Festival to perform at the Théâtre du Villars Palace over three weekends between 21 February and 8 March 2025. DJ sets will open and close each evening in the hotel bar. Tickets are available now.

After revealing artists such as Yamê, Victor Ray and Aime Simone in previous editions, the MJF Spotlight Sessions welcomes a new selection of ultra-promising artists. Four of them will be performing in Switzerland for the very first time.

To be discovered in the intimacy of Villars Palace before they take to the international stage:

  • MRCY (21.02)*, a British duo with timeless soul arrangements
  • Noor (22.02), a French singer with a very personal touch, who has opened for Zaho de Sagazan, among others
  • Sienna Spiro (28.02)*, the new voice of UK pop, inspired by the soul of her idols Amy Winehouse and Raye
  • Judeline (01.03)*, a singer who brilliantly blends her Hispanic roots with avant-garde productions
  • Naïka (07.03)*, a fascinating Berklee-trained pop artist whose diverse origins span France, the Caribbean and the USA
  • Dalí (08.03), a new phenomenon on the French rap/song scene.
