For people with passion for music

The Adelaide International Jazz Festival (AIJF) celebrates the world-renowned art form of jazz and showcases the abundance of jazz talent here in South Australia.

Since 2023, we’ve curated an annual festival program of live performances featuring diverse jazz genres in a range of venues at accessible prices. In 2026, the festival is taking a fallow year to ensure we can return bigger and better in October 2027.

 

The festival's on pause this year.  But the music isn't. 

 

We'd already booked some incredible national and international artists for 2026, and rather than let South Australian audiences miss out, we're still bringing them here  under the AIJF Presents banner, as a taster of things to come in 2027.

 

So save the dates – 16, 17 and 18 October 2026 – and stay tuned for more details on these exclusive performances.
