Ealing Jazz Festival 2026

The 2026 Ealing Jazz Festival celebrates both heritage and evolution, building on a legacy in Walpole Park that stretches back to 1984.

Saturday's programme is rooted in groove-led acid jazz, crossover sounds and heritage influences that reflect Ealing's rich musical identity - balancing tradition with accessibility and energy. On Sunday, the focus shifts towards a more global and forward-looking sound, spotlighting international influences, emerging talent and the contemporary movements reshaping jazz today.

Saturday's Big Top programme brings a globally influenced mix of jazz and emerging talent.

On Sunday, Banger Factory Records, founded by Mark Kavuma, curate a showcase of the new London jazz movement in the Big Top.

Artists across the weekend include:Galliano, 2fox, London Afrobeat Collective, Mark Kavuma & Banger Factory + many more
