In the coastal city of Durrës, Hemingway Bar is a notable venue that regularly hosts live jazz and blues performances. The bar's laid-back vibe and dedication to showcasing quality live music have made it a beloved spot for music enthusiasts. Hemingway Bar is particularly known for its Sunday night jazz sessions, which have become a staple in the local music calendar.

Recent years have seen an increase in live music events across Albania, with more international artists choosing to include the country in their tour schedules. In 2022, the British rock band Franz Ferdinand performed in Tirana as part of their European tour. This concert was another significant event for the Albanian music scene, highlighting the country's growing appeal to global artists.

The summer of 2023 saw the return of large-scale festivals after the disruptions caused by the pandemic.
