From the very beginning, the concept of the festival (apart from the "traditional" forms of jazz,) was based primarily on the fusion of jazz and the ethnic traditions of different parts of the world, especially with the traditions of Balkans. The most famous jazz magazine in the world "Downbeat" said that Nišville festival not only promotes jazz as a music genre originated on the American continent, but also music traditions of the Balkans, and especially the combination of these two styles, which resulted in presenting the music of the Balkans as a new world trend.
The main program of the festival is held on two stages at the Fortress of Niš (Earth & Sky stage). During one festival evening there are 6 band performing at these stages, and they are usually no less then 20.000 people in the audience.
