Neusser Jazz-Sommernacht

A Summer Night for Jazz Lovers

The Neusser Jazz-Sommernacht is part of the summer program of the Neuss Cultural Office and is part of the 'Blue in Green' series — the jazz brand of the city of Neuss. It combines an open-air atmosphere, high-quality jazz music, and accessible entry: free admission, with the city financing the artists through the cultural budget.

Date 2026: July 16

In 2026, the Jazz-Sommernacht will take place on Thursday, July 16. The date has already been confirmed by the official event calendar of the Neuss Cultural Office. The specific location is usually announced shortly before the date — based on experience, the Jazz-Sommernacht takes place at the Kulturforum Alte Post, a central cultural venue in Neuss, which is not only a concert hall but also a venue for the 'Blue in Green' series.

In the Spirit of 'Blue in Green'

The 'Blue in Green' series (named after the Miles Davis jazz classic from 'Kind of Blue') is a long-standing program of the Neuss Cultural Office. It sees itself as a stage for both young and established jazz musicians, mixing classic mainstream sets with crossover formats. The Jazz-Sommernacht is the open-air highlight of the series — and exactly the right choice for a summer evening in Neuss.

Neuss — A Major City with a Cultural Profile

Neuss is located directly on the Rhine opposite Düsseldorf, in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss district in North Rhine-Westphalia. With around 154,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities without independent urban status in Germany. The city has Roman origins (Novaesium was a legionary camp) and boasts a distinct cultural landscape with the Kulturforum Alte Post, the Romaneum, the Deutsche Kammerakademie, and an active cultural office as a central programmer.

Program 2026 Under Preparation

The exact artist lineup for the 2026 Jazz-Sommernacht will be announced by the Neuss Cultural Office and the Kulturforum Alte Post before July 16. The accompanying program — food, drinks, seating, weather alternatives — will also be communicated before the date.
