From Thursday to Sunday this week, Brick Lane is again turning into a hotbed of exciting jazz, shining a spotlight on the capital's diverse and thriving jazz talent.

The Brick Lane Jazz Festival is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, returning to the Truman Brewery with a diverse programme spanning jazz, hip-hop, neo-soul, and electronic music, with acts such as Steam Down, Charlotte Dos Santos, and Lucinda Chua, to name a few.

Spanning ten iconic venues in and around the Brick Lane area, the event prioritises emerging talent and the innovative sounds of London's underground music scene, with easy access to the various stages. New this year, the festival is also hosting a conference programme aimed at supporting artists and music professionals, with workshops, talks, mentoring sessions, and other events helping foster connection and share knowledge.

Brick Lane Jazz Festival 2026 takes place from 23 to 26 April, with both day and weekend passes available. You can find out more about the festival and book tickets here.
