The Fête de la Musique in Geneva is underway, although with some covid differences.

There are 32 stages and more than 250 concerts running until Sunday. Organisers have even managed to repurpose the Parc La Grange after the summit - it will be open this evening. 

Music will range from classical, rock, jazz, rap and dance. 

The pandemic meant it was cancelled last year. There will be some differences this year. The music will be spread out over the city in five different zones and the concerts will start at the same time to prevent too many people mixing.
