Jazz on Wick 2026

About

Jazz on Wick returns to Hackney Wick on 5th September 2026. A cross-genre, multi-venue celebration from the minds behind Colour Factory, ORII and Voices, We’ve been working hard to put together a programme that truly reflects what Jazz on Wick is about - improvised, soulful and genre-defying. Grime icon D Double E joins forces with Zeñel for a jazz-meets-grime crossover set that really sums up what the festival is all about, while MOBO winner Ego Ella May brings neo soul introspection, drummer Jas Kayser delivers a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Tony Allen and neo-R&B maverick Shae Universe makes her Jazz on Wick debut. Elsewhere, we've got Manny hip hop stalwarts The Mouse Outfit and pure jazz-funk-meets-house improv from Ziggy Zeitheist, with the DJ programme bringing a different dimension. Expect some incredible collective takeovers too, from The Silhouettes Project - one of the most vital grassroots crews in UK music - to BBE marking 30 years with their full crew and very special guest Esa Williams, plus an Apron Records DJ takeover headed up by label boss Steven Julien.
