Stockholm Jazz Festival expecting Sting, Kanye West

At least 25,000 people are expected to attend the outdoor concerts on the small island of Skeppsholmen in downtown Stockholm. Other featured acts include Miriam Makeba, Kenny Garrett, the Neville Brothers and Maceo Parker.

Stockholm Jazz Festival, one of Stockholm's biggest annual music events, is in its 23rd year and runs from July 18-22. It will feature 41 concerts, the AP reports.

Organizers said a smaller jazz festival will be held in Stockholm on Aug. 19-20 to raise money for the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic, an emergency fund that helps musicians from New Orleans in need of assistance after Hurricane Katrina, which hit New Orleans on Aug. 29 last year.
