About the 2026 program

“We’ve curated this year’s program to highlight the richness of South Australia’s jazz scene while welcoming inspiring voices from around the world. Adelaide audiences appreciate authenticity and bold creativity, so every performance offers something uniquely exciting. Our hope is that this festival encourages people to discover new artists, celebrate local talent, and experience how jazz continues to evolve.”
