Every November, the EFG London Jazz Festival takes over the city, with a diverse line-up showcasing global stars and emerging talent.
As the biggest pan-city music festival in Europe, it brings over 100k audience members together at 300+ live shows at venues across the city, from basement jazz bars to the world’s finest concert halls. The festival is the highlight of the jazz calendar in the UK, with a long history of programming a wide variety of talent from around the world.
The festival was created in 1992 by live music producers Serious and celebrates its thirty-second iteration in 2024. The aims of the festival remain the same as ever; celebrating jazz and its place in London, giving artists a platform for their work, and bringing music venues across the capital to life.
