Melbourne International Jazz Festival 2026
Now in its 29th year, Melbourne International Jazz Festival is Australia's largest festival of its kind-internationally recognised as one of the world's great jazz festivals.
Melbourne International Jazz Festival
Friday 16th October 2026 - Sunday 25th October 2026
Across ten days every October (since 1998), our annual festival brings the joy of jazz to the city streets.
With over 130 performances and 550 artists, we draw in crowds of more than 60,000 people each year-taking over Melbourne's iconic spaces and packing out its concert halls.
The festival's Modern Masters series brings global icons to Melbourne to play alongside leading and emerging Australian artists at venues like the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Hamer Hall and Melbourne Recital Centre. Each year, we commission new work and present a diverse series of local artists who are actively shaping the definition and future of Australian jazz.
Our commitment to accessibility means that at least 35% of our program is free or low cost, ensuring that anyone can experience world-class, live music.
