 The Jazz Café, one of the world’s icon­ic ven­ues, will host its debut fest­iv­al on Sunday, 15th Septem­ber. Set across four stages in Bur­gess Park, Cam­ber­well, the lineup reflects the Jazz Café’s firm grasp of excep­tion­al homegrown and inter­na­tion­al emer­ging tal­ent along­side the deep roots in music history.

The Jazz Café’s debut fest­iv­al, a sig­ni­fic­ant mile­stone for the three-dec­ade-strong insti­tu­tion, cel­eb­rates music, cul­ture, and com­munity and will close out the sum­mer in one of Lon­don’s most well-loved and com­munity-driv­en parks. The one-day affair is a loaded lineup of some of the most excit­ing and innov­at­ive sing­ers, rap­pers, musi­cians and DJs from the UK, US, Cuba, the Middle East and more, show­cas­ing the ven­ue’s repu­ta­tion for pro­gram­ming unique and broad live music events.

This is a rare oppor­tun­ity to wit­ness these artists per­form togeth­er on a fest­iv­al lineup in the UK.

A cul­min­a­tion of cher­ished Jazz Café per­formers the ven­ue has dreamt of bring­ing togeth­er for many years and artists that have sold out the ven­ue and gone on to tre­mend­ous heights. All genres that make up the Jazz Café’s pro­gram­ming will be prom­in­ent — from the most revered names in Hip Hop and Rap, Soul, Jazz, Lat­in, RnB, and taste­m­aker elec­tron­ic from live to clas­sic and con­tem­por­ary disco and house.

Start­ing with ELIZA, whose pivot from pop star­dom to sul­try R’n’B was deb­uted live to a sold-out Jazz Café audi­ence in 2018. Alchem­ist, who’s recor­ded some of the best hip-hop albums in recent memory. South Lon­don-raised artist Ojer­ime has con­tinu­ally impressed with her brand of 90s RnB. Crazy P wrapped up their sold-out 4‑week res­id­ency at the Cam­den ven­ue last month. Raps­ody, one of the US’s sac­red female rap­pers, signed to Roc Nation, whose cre­den­tials include Erykah Badu and Kendrick Lamar. Rising East Lon­don artist dialE who hos­ted his first head­line show at Hoxton’s Court­yard Theatre in Feb­ru­ary. Girls Can­’t DJ founder Jordss, named ‘Queen of R&B edits’ by Boil­er Room, is known for play­ing recog­nis­able favour­ites with a twist. The Buena Vista All Stars, led by Ibrahim Fer­rer Jr, son of the golden-voiced sing­er and ori­gin­al mem­ber of the pion­eer­ing group Buena Vista Social Club, are here to chan­nel the spir­it of Cuban music like nobody else.

Com­poser Nils Frahm will close the event on the Main Stage with his only out­door UK per­form­ance of the year, along­side Gilles Peterson, who will head­line the In The Round Dance stage and Earl Sweat­shirt, who will close out The Plant Room. Cul­ture, travel, and com­munity-driv­en plat­form Trip­pin World will cur­ate the fourth stage, The Dome. Jazz Café fans, through the years, will find some­thing to love.

Above all, the Jazz Café has earned its repu­ta­tion as a cru­cial part of the live music land­scape and has an unpar­alleled cul­tur­al impact in Lon­don. It has been a place to dis­cov­er the hot­test bub­bling artists on the cusp of great­ness and see world-fam­ous icons on one of the most intim­ate, grass­roots stages. The Jazz Café Fest­iv­al is here to fuel Lon­don with more unfor­get­table moments, just like its icon­ic ven­ue has done for 35 years. ⁠
