The festival kicks off today, with performances from American singer-songwriter Jon Batiste, and the UK’s Henry Moodie.

As well as the livestreams, the festival will be recorded by Montreux Media Ventures in collaboration with those performing.

Founded in 1967 by Claude Nobs, the festival takes place on the shores of Lake Geneva and has seen performances from the likes of Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder and Leonard Cohen.

Though originally celebrating jazz, soul, and the blues, the festival's range has grown, with Radiohead, Tyler the Creator and Ed Sheeran playing in recent years.
