12 Points Festival brings twelve rising jazz artists to Finland from twelve different European countries. The festival will take place from September 25th to 28th at G Livelab in Tampere. The event is organized by the Irish music promotion company Improvised Music Company and the music venue G Livelab Tampere.

The performing artists include Selma Savolainen Horror Vacui (Finland), Fixity (Ireland), Emmeluth’s Amoeba (Norway), Beyond (Lithuania), Invisible Painters (Italy), Karmen Rõivassepp Quartet (Denmark), Pawky (Sweden), Ingibjörg Elsa Turchi (Iceland), Inui (France), /kry (Austria), Sc’ööf (Switzerland), and TamTam (Estonia). Each of the four festival nights will feature performances by three different bands. The festival will be hosted by Verneri Pohjola, who gained international recognition through the 12 Points Festival.

The Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at G Livelab will conclude with free late-night jam sessions, where in past years, many new musical friendships and even new jazz ensembles have formed. The jam sessions will be hosted by local musicians Markus Pajakkala and Juho Kanervo, joined by Tampere-based groups Kielo Kärkkäinen & Friend Soup, Hot Heros, and !imouS.

In conjunction with the festival, the Jazz Futures Conference will also be held in Tampere, in collaboration with the Better Live EU project and the Tampere City Library. The free conference, held at Tampere's main library Metso, will explore the current state of jazz and, most importantly, its future. This year, discussions will focus on the future of jazz in relation to environmental issues, sustainability, and accessibility.

The Tampere 12 Points Festival is supported by the City of Tampere, the Arts Promotion Centre Finland, and the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation. The event is also partnered with Operaatio Pirkanmaa.
