Brick Lane Jazz Festival 2026 with ‘Plugged in with Yaz’ // 25.02.2026

‘Plugged in with Yaz’ is the go-to show for young creatives in London.

Today we’ve got another dose of ‘jazz with Yaz’, and we’re heading back to one of my favourite weekends in the East London calendar – Brick Lane Jazz Festival.

The festival is celebrating its fifth birthday edition this year, taking over Brick Lane and Shoreditch from Thursday 23rd to Sunday 26th April 2026 with a stacked line-up of legends, trailblazers and exciting new voices from the UK and beyond.

Tune in for 2 hours of jazzy music from this year’s line-up – everyone from Brian Jackson and Joe Armon‑Jones to anaiis & Grupo Cosmo, Steam Down, JGrrey and so many more – so you can get a feel for what you might be gig‑hopping between in April.

Yaz chats with the founder and director of the festival – Juliet Kennedy – to talk about how the festival has grown, what’s new for 2026, and why this scene means so much to her.

Bringing together London’s vibrant underground music community at the iconic Truman Brewery site and beyond get ready for three days incredible jazz gigs showcasing some of the most exciting new and established acts on the scene today.
