Balaton Breeze, Picnic Blankets, and Global Stars: Paloznak Jazzpiknik is Calling!

Jazzpiknik is more than just a concert series; it’s a three-day garden party nestled among the vineyards of Paloznak. Here, rustic village charm meets international standards. During the day, intimate stages along the vine rows host local jazz formations and club concerts, while the gourmet yard offers the region’s finest wines and artisanal dishes. As night falls, the Main Stage comes alive with lanterns, vibrant energy, and the best of funk, soul, and jazz.

The Line-up: Who’s Setting the Beat
This year’s roster brings the crème de la crème of the international music scene to the hills. Get ready for legendary performances by Rick Astley, the soulful baritone of Gregory Porter, and the powerhouse vocals of Ella Eyre. The party continues with the sophisticated sounds of Matt Bianco and the high-energy hits of the Earth, Wind & Fire Experience, plus many more local and international acts that will keep the hills alive with music from afternoon lounging until late-night dancing.

The festival is both family and dog-friendly, ensuring that even the little ones and four-legged friends can enjoy the vibe. Tickets are limited to maintain the intimate atmosphere, so it is wise to grab yours early as popular days tend to sell out fast. Logistics are also a breeze: dedicated "Picnic Buses" run between nearby towns, allowing you to leave the car behind and focus entirely on the music and the local vintages.
