The world's most famous jazz festival included Marti in the main lineup. Performance on Stravinski Hall stage on 4 July 2026.
Montreux Jazz Festival — the world's most famous jazz festival held on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland — announced on 22 January 2026 the inclusion of Laura Marti in the main festival lineup of 2026 (the 60th-anniversary edition). Marti's performance is scheduled for 4 July 2026 at the Stravinski Hall (capacity 4000 spectators) at 21:00. This is the first-ever Ukrainian jazz performer's performance on the Montreux main stage. The 75-minute setlist contains 9 songs: 5 tracks from the 'Borsch Jazz' album (see separate news), 2 jazz standards in her own arrangement ('My Funny Valentine', 'Summertime'), 2 new sneak-peek tracks from an upcoming single releasing in September 2026. Instrumental cast on stage is the same as in the album recording: Saratsky (piano), Adu (trumpet), Lopata (double bass), Boyko (drums) plus guest saxophonist from the American jazz scene Joshua Redman. A special detail — the performance runs in live recording format for the official DVD/Blu-ray series 'Montreux Live Vol. 47' (one of the planet's most prestigious jazz live series, with releases by artists like Dianne Reeves, Diana Krall). Recording will be available on streaming platforms from 1 October 2026, physical DVD — from 7 December 2026. The performance also broadcasts live on Mezzo TV (one of Europe's leading jazz-classical channels).
