The Acute Jazz Festival, founded in 1987 at the University of Mainz, has had its permanent home at the Frankfurter Hof in the heart of Mainz's old town for 26 years now. One thing has not changed in the conception of the Akut-Festival in all these years: the Akut is and will remain a festival that presents exciting and innovative musical projects from the border area between jazz, avant-garde and rock with an international line-up, which gladly take off for good at the really big European festivals. For the first time since 2004, the Acute Festival will again take place over two days in 2018.
