Tick­ets avail­able from Tues­day 3rd March, HERE
12pm — 10pm

Jazz Café, one of the world’s most icon­ic live music ven­ues, is set to return with its highly anti­cip­ated fest­iv­al on Sunday, 2nd August at Bur­gess Park, Cam­ber­well. Build­ing on the suc­cess of last year’s sold-out event, this year’s fest­iv­al will once again fuel Bur­gess Park with more unfor­get­table moments, cel­eb­rat­ing both rising stars and estab­lished legends from across the scene. 

Head­lining this year’s Jazz Café Fest­iv­al main stage is R&B song­stress Ari Len­nox. The fest­iv­al  is set to be Lennox’s only UK date of 2026 and will see her per­form tracks from her highly regarded new album Vacancy. This year’s female-lean­ing lineup con­tin­ues with Green­tea Peng, whose soul­ful energy has cap­tiv­ated audi­ences. Also fea­tured is Amer­ic­an sing­er-song­writer and pro­du­cer Dur­and Bern­arr, along with BRIT School alumni Jaz Karis, and cap­tiv­at­ing per­form­ances from Mansur Brown, Gab­ri­el Jac­oby, Amaria and  Momoko Gill. 

The Plant Room, brings a mix hip-hop and under­ground beats. Hailed as one of hip-hop’s most refresh­ing voices, SMINO, will head­line the stage with his unique mix of neo-soul, funk and mod­ern hip-hop. Amer­ic­an rap­per and Griselda Records artist Boldly James will also per­form, along­side Kofi Stone, an artist known for his deeply reflect­ive lyr­i­cism and soul­ful storytelling.  The stage will also spot­light rising UK tal­ent, includ­ing rapper/MC Names­b­liss, Birm­ing­ham born Alt-RnB sing­er RUBII, Lon­don-based pro­du­cer, vocal­ist and DJ, Lauren Duf­fus and Brighton-based rap & pro­duc­tion duo Frankie Stew & Har­vey Gunn. 

The energy con­tin­ues at the Four Corners stage, bring­ing togeth­er a lineup of highly sought-after elec­tron­ic artists. Lead­ing the charge will be party starter Dan Shake, along­side a DJ set from Warp Records pro­du­cer Night­mares On Wax, NTS Res­id­ent Mafalda, Lon­don-based pro­du­cer Sys­tem Olympia, and Anish Kumar, an emer­ging tal­ent from the UK’s dance music scene. 

The Dome stage will fea­ture a fusion of exper­i­ment­al sounds, fea­tur­ing DJ sets from Arthi, Chamos, Messie, Green­tea Selecta, and Bushbby.

With its care­fully cur­ated pro­gram­ming and unmis­tak­able spir­it, Jazz Café Fest­iv­al reflects the venue’s long-stand­ing leg­acy of nur­tur­ing ground­break­ing artists and cre­at­ing unfor­get­table live exper­i­ences. Blend­ing soul­ful R&B with bound­ary-push­ing hip-hop and elec­tron­ic music, the fest­iv­al will trans­form Bur­gess Park into a lively show­case of music, cul­ture, and com­munity — bring­ing Lon­don even more unfor­get­table moments, just as its icon­ic ven­ue has done for the past 35 years.
