Adelaide
Jazz Festival
For people with passion for music
The Adelaide Jazz Festival (AJF) celebrates the world-renowned art form of jazz and showcases the abundance of jazz talent here in South Australia.
2025 is Adelaide’s 10th anniversary as a UNESCO City of Music, and the AJF marked this milestone with an extended program from 24 April until 2 May, including International Jazz Day (30 April).
We again presented a curated program of live performances featuring diverse jazz genres, and we also invited the organisations and venues that regularly support live jazz in Adelaide to join the 2025 program.
Highlights reel coming soon.
South Australians, who are we?
We are the Festival State. We are Australia’s only UNESCO City of Music. We love culture, we love festivals, we love the arts.
Jazz is a world-renowned artform that unites, educates and inspires.
We cannot show the world who we are without an annual jazz festival. We need your support to return in 2026.
The Adelaide Jazz Festival acknowledges the Kaurna People as the traditional owners of the Adelaide Plains, Kaurna Yerta. We thank Elders past, present and emerging who care for this land and waters.
