Grab your ticket to Jazz Cafe Festival – before they sell out! What are you doing on Sunday, August 2? If the answer is a resounding ‘nothing’, then we’ve got the perfect plan to fill your diary with. Jazz Cafe Festival is back for 2026, arriving in style to South London’s Burgess Park with a red hot line-up of rising stars and musical legends. On the main stage, we’re talking major headliners like Ari Lennox – her only UK date for this year, in fact – as well as Greentea Peng and Jaz Karis. Then over on the Plant Room stage – which will be home to a mix of hip-hop and underground beats – you’ll be treated to performances from the likes of SMINO, Boldly James and Kofi Stone. Of course, we can’t forget the Four Corners stage, where you’ll find wall-to-wall electronic musicians like Nightmares on Wax, Dan Shake and Anish Kumar, and the Arthi Hard stage, where a line-up of experimental sounds is curated by multigenre DJ Arthi. Tickets are almost sold out – but there’s still a few up for grabs. If smooth, soulful tunes in the sunshine are your thing (and quite frankly, who could blame you?), this promises to be the ultimate Sunday Funday.
