About This Event

SOHO JAZZ FESTIVAL 2026 TEN YEARS REIMAGINED. FORTY YEARS IN THE MAKING. 16-19 SEPTEMBER 2026 Every September, Soho comes alive with music in its most unexpected corners. A basement club here, a members' lounge there, a hidden room you've walked past a hundred times. This is the intimate festival: over 100 artists across 10 stages and 30+ shows, from swing, latin and blues to the UK's new jazz underground, played in rooms where you can see the whites of the band's eyes. 2026 is a landmark year, ten years since the festival was reimagined by Soho Live Studios and forty since it first began. Expect open jam sessions, secret gigs, album drops, live recordings, and a vintage double-decker bus running mobile gigs through the streets of Soho. Your Day Pass is one pass for all of it on Friday 18 September. Move freely between every venue from first set to last note, 5pm to 11pm. Outdoor stages, jam sessions and all free programming included. No separate tickets, no picking one show over another. We hold our lineup back until August Bank Holiday. That's deliberate: this festival has always been about discovery, not the poster. The venues playing each day and the themes of the shows are on our site, the rest stays a surprise. Buy now and the full programme lands in your inbox the moment we announce. Every pass is named and photo ID is checked at the door, so touts cannot buy them and ours stay at face value. Doing more than one day?  The All Access Pass covers all four for less than two Day Passes, plus VIP perks throughout.  Find out more at www.sohojazzfestival.com
