Latest News

Here is the latest news about the ZomerJazzFietsTour. These are announcements that we could no longer include in the program booklet, along with some extra information.

  • In Garnwerd tent, ZOOE plays 1 concert from 12:30-13:30.
  • In Schuur Dekker (Noordhorn), drummer Dag Magnus is unavailable. He will be replaced by Jan Leipnitz from Berlin.
  • In Niehove, during the second concert, the Le Clercq/Pau/Nijland String Trio will premiere.
  • In De Doorrit in Garnwerd, the band of Damien Mehldau will play not two but three half-hour concerts.
  • In the evening, no DJ Swoolish in the Garnwerd tent, but Swingmaster Sem instead.
  • The concert in Winsum by Tabula Sonorem will take place in the Torenkerk, not in the Obergum church as mistakenly mentioned somewhere.
  • The bridge at Wierumerschouw (over the Reitdiep) is out of service, also for cyclists and pedestrians. Detour routes are indicated. Your phone's navigation can also offer you an alternative route.
  • The ZomerJazzFietsTour is almost sold out. This means you can't attend a concert before your starting location, as some locations would become too crowded. Once you receive your wristband at your starting location, you can, of course, freely explore after that.
  • Near the Garnwerd tent, in the Passage next to Hammingh, there is the exhibition "Tijdrit" about 38 years of ZJFT. You can visit it for free on Saturday from 11:30 AM to 9:00 PM and on Sunday from 1:30 PM to 6:30 PM. T-shirts from several previous editions are also for sale there, while stocks last.
  • The southern ring road around the city of Groningen is still closed. Keep in mind (some) extra travel time and follow the official detour routes. That's usually the quickest way. A bit ironic: the southern ring road will reopen next Sunday evening after years of renovation...
  • No catering is available in Oostum.
  • If you have bicycle problems, call our Bicycle Repairman: 06 10 076 852.
  • If you have any questions, just ask one of the crew members. They are everywhere and can be recognized by the red ZJFT shirts.

Wishing you a wonderful ZomerJazzFietsTour!!!
