For the 3rd year running, the MJF is teaming up with the Polaris Festival for its opening night on 22 November 2024. Two years after their last show at the Montreux Jazz Lab, the French duo will be getting the crowd dancing in Verbier at an altitude of 1,650m with a 2-hour DJ set.
For its 9th edition, the Polaris Festival will once again be offering 4 nights of electro stars over two consecutive weekends, on 22-23 and 29-30 November 2030, in its famous dome overlooking the Valais resort.
The opening night, co-organised with the Montreux Jazz Festival, will welcome French duo The Blaze for a captivating DJ set, both musically and visually. They will be joined by Maceo Plex, a key figure on the house and techno scene, renowned for his vibrant performances. The stage will also welcome Fiona Kraft, a rising French techno DJ and producer, and Polaris regular Swiss DJ Laolu, who will open the evening with a soulful house and techno set.
This year’s confirmed artists include legendary figures from the international electronic music scene whose names resonate across borders and generations: Richie Hawtin, a pioneer of minimal techno renowned for his avant-garde approach; Laurent Garnier, a French icon and one of the most respected DJs in the history of techno; Carl Craig, a Detroit legend who helped redefine the boundaries of techno by injecting it with elements of jazz, soul and funk.
