Iggy Pop’s Montreux 2023 Set Captures Raw Power in Upcoming Live Album Release
The wait is almost over for fans craving a taste of Iggy Pop’s most recent live brilliance. On January 24, 2025, the highly anticipated Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2023 will be released worldwide. This new album captures Iggy Pop at his fiery best, recorded live on July 6, 2023, in front of an electrified Montreux crowd at the iconic Stravinski Auditorium. The album’s first single, “Five Foot One (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2023)”, is available now alongside its video.
Backed by a dynamic seven-piece band, Iggy’s Montreux set dives deep into his career, featuring tracks from his early days with The Stooges, classics from Lust for Life and The Idiot, and selections from his recent release, Every Loser. From the primal energy of “I Wanna Be Your Dog” to the relentless stomp of “Nightclubbing” and the chaos of “Frenzy”, this set showcases why there’s still no one like Iggy Pop onstage. As Iggy himself puts it, “I give something extra every time I do Montreux Jazz. In ’23 it was deep cuts like ‘Mass Production,’ ‘Endless Sea,’ ‘Five Foot One’—and a hell of a lot of sweat.”
