We look forward to seeing everyone at our welcome party on Thursday, getting those feet warmed up by none other than our unstoppable friends from Freiburg, Germany – The Killin’ Jivers! They are renowned for bringing the spirited and lively swing culture of the 1930s into the modern era. Drawing inspiration from jazz comedy acts like Slim and Slam and the vocal street jazz of The Cats and the Fiddle, they infuse their performances with humor and energy.

This concert is organised by Jazz Society Stuttgart in cooperation with SwingKultur Stuttgart.

DOUBLE FEATURE!

A spectacular evening awaits you as two fantastic swing dance bands will take the stage together: Laney and the Snappy Rhythm Gang & Linda Kyei Swing Combo! Step back in time to the golden age of swing as infectious rhythms and captivating melodies transform the ballroom into a time capsule of musical magic. 

These two Stuttgart-based ensembles, now performing on major stages near and far, come together in their hometown to celebrate 20 years of SwingKultur. Expect an electrifying night where the musicians inspire each other to new heights, with a few special guests joining in along the way. Both bands will play their hottest tunes, seamlessly blending their sounds until the lines between them begin to blur. In a grand and exhilarating finale, all musicians will take the stage together for an unforgettable performance. This unique double feature is a one-of-a-kind experience not to be missed!

Saturday night is when “Großer Kursaal” will be packed with all those stompin’ feet, slidin’ shoes and wiggling knees of yours. The party will take place in the big ballroom so everyone can be sure to find a spot on the (burning hot) dancefloor.

Now, if you want to dance until your feet burn, you will need a band that is on fire! Who would be better at this than VOJTECH HAVELKA & HIS MELODY MAKERS? This well known big band is a synonym for authentic interpretation of popular music of the swing era. The musicians' thorough jazz style is compounded by their sense of humor, show and understanding. This time the band is lead by Vojtech Havelka.
