Soho Jazz Festival 2026
A homegrown, underground jazz night.
The Soho Jazz Festival returns for a landmark edition in 2026, marking ten years since its reimagining and forty years since its inception. Known as Europe's grassroots jazz festival, it focuses on preserving an intimate spirit by opening up Soho's hidden corners—from basement clubs to member lounges—to music discovery. To maintain this unique atmosphere and focus on the music rather than the crowds, the full lineup and secret venues are only revealed at the August Bank Holiday. The festival celebrates risk and edge in the jazz scene, ensuring grassroots artists remain at the heart of the performance. This reservation period allows dedicated supporters to secure early access and credit toward festival passes before the general public.
