Manchester Jazz Festival returns for 2026, bringing a diverse programme of live performances across the city.

Celebrating contemporary and genre-blending jazz, this year’s line-up features a mix of local talent, UK artists and international acts including Olivia Cuttill and Friends, China Moses, Bel Cobain, Andy Sheppard, Nout and Lau Noah.

The festival will once again take over venues across Manchester, with a closing wrap party at Matt & Phreds, alongside new performances in Oldham as part of an expanded programme.
