Last July, the legendary Iggy Pop returned to Montreux Jazz Festival backed by a seven-piece band and thrilled an at-capacity Stravinski Auditorium crowd with a career-spanning set that featured material from his time with The Stooges, solo albums like The Idiot, Lust for Life and New Values, leading up to the release of his most recent album, last year’s Every Loser.

The Montreux Jazz Festival set marked the legend’s third appearance at the festival and it was recorded and filmed by the festival team. The resulting live album Iggy Pop Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2023 is an essential Iggy Pop live album that celebrates a legendary career and catalog that remains as vital, forceful and inventive as ever while featuring beloved classics like “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” “T.V. Eye,” “Lust for Life,” and “Nightclubbing,” as well as newer songs like “Modern Day Ripoff” and “Frenzy.” “Stravinsky Hall is special, like Carnegie or the Garden or Sydney Opera. I’ve dived in them all,”
says Iggy Pop.

Iggy Pop Live at Montreux Jazz Festival‘s second and latest single, is swaggering and roaring, live rendition of one of Iggy Pop’s most iconic and most streamed songs, “The Passenger.” The addition of a horn arrangement manages to add a muscular, ska-like coloring to the proceedings while retaining the familiar, chugging lurch of the recoded version.

The concert will be available as a Blu-ray + CD Digipak, 2LP gatefold and digital download on January 24, 2025 globally through earMusic.
