JAZZ RE:FEST 2024
Join Jazz re:freshed for the 11th edition of JAZZ RE:FEST, a celebration of all things jazz, spotlighting up-and-coming artists alongside international names.
Special guests Cykada, Poppy Daniels, Insxght, Knats, Kyra, Summer Pearl and Sultan Stevenson take to the stages across our site.

JAZZ RE:FEST was created to give a big stage platform to the up-and-coming, underexposed bands that belong on the biggest circuits, alongside more established artists.
It also exists to give audiences of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to experience the cutting edge of live jazz music, in an exciting and welcoming space.
Jazz re:freshed has been at the forefront of the UK jazz scene for the last 20 years, elevating, amplifying and spotlighting the breadth of talented young artists from across the musical spectrum to reach new audiences.
As a non-profit dedicated to creating fun, inclusive and affordable spaces to share music, the organisation has provided crucial early career support for the likes of Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia, Ezra Collective and many more now making waves on the world stage.
Built on the foundations of its weekly residency, Jazz re:freshed has grown into a multifaceted arts organisation and cultural institution, comprising band development programs, DJ club nights, multiple partnerships, and an award-winning record label.
