jazzahead! 2026
22 - 25 April 2026
Jazzahead! will take place in Bremen, Germany, from April 22nd to 25th, 2026. As always, Buma Cultuur / injazz will host the regular injazz booth at jazzahead! 2026.
The world’s largest jazz fair has focused heavily on contemporary Dutch jazz in recent years, with the 2024 country-focused edition as a highlight, and a successful Kaleidoscope Clubnight last year.
From dozens of Dutch applications for a jazzahead! showcase performance in Bremen in April of 2026, the Peter Somuah Group and the trio of pianist Sol Jang have been selected by the independent jury.
