For 37 years Jazz Cafe has been a London music institution. Which is how, last summer, for the first time in its storied history, the legendary venue stepped beyond the four walls of its Camden home, bringing its first-ever Jazz Cafe Festival to the sun-soaked fields of Burgess Park.

A Festival Like No Other
For the third year in a row and headlining 2025, after a sellout 2025 show, Jazz Cafe Festival returns Sunday 2nd August 2026.

• An arena-type staged for headline acts.
• A 360-degree setup ideally suited for grooving along to your favourite DJs.
• A tropical plant room, where nature meets music
• A secret stage, disclosed to lucky guests later that day.

After the drop of her third album Vacancy, Ari Lennox will be headlining with an exclusive only UK show. Surely, songs like Pressure, Twin Flames and Shea Butter Baby will be part of the set too.

Once again, the team behind this institution will bring the spirit of the Jazz Cafe back to an outdoor celebration of music in London.

Curious what all the fuss is about? Read our full review of the 2025 Jazz Café Festival to relive the magic and see why it’s already one of the most talked-about events in London.

This summer staple is a must for music enthusiasts everywhere; Jazz Cafe Festival 2026—mark your calendars.
