About festival

Groove Brno celebrates its coming of age and transforms into a full-fledged summer open-air festival focusing on the Central European funk-soul community.

For 18 years Groove Brno has been bringing you the best international and local stars of funk, soul, jazz fusion and related genres. Previously a bimonthly autumn series of concerts in Brno’s clubs and concert halls, this year it will be concentrated into two summer days in a unique location, the enchanting Kozí horky meadow by the Brno Reservoir, where we will meet in the open air, right by the water.

What awaits you?

✅ Music that will blow you away – world stars, premieres of foreign bands, legends and new talents!

✅ A setting that will enchant you – a beautiful beach, a green meadow, cool dam water and a relaxed summer atmosphere.

✅ Boat transport – arrive in style straight to the festival site and soak up the atmosphere on the way!

✅ Top-class gastro & chill-out zone – select delicacies from Brno’s gastronomic masters, relax on the grass and enjoy the cool summer atmosphere.

✅ Activities for body and soul – sports on land and in the water, barbecues on the beach and, above all, a community of people who love to groove and discover!
