In London, we are well past the days of jazz being stuffy dinner party music, because the capital’s jazz scene is dynamic, young, cool and underground. Split across the Truman Brewery, 93 Feet East and nearby venues, the Brick Lane Jazz Festival brings together some of the best and most exciting talent on the flourishing scene, and in the past hast hosted big talent like Nubya Garcia, Ezra Collective and Cherise. In 2026, the festival will programme genre-blending sounds covering jazz, RnB, neo-soul, hip hop, broken beat and electronic music. The first wave of acts announced for the next edition includes IAMNOBODI, Kwame Yeboah, Alexander Flood, TABLE and more.
