North Sea Jazz Festival

About

The NN North Sea Jazz Festival is the world's largest indoor jazz festival, filling the halls of Rotterdam Ahoy over three days from 9 to 11 July 2027. More than a thousand musicians play across a dozen or so stages in a single weekend, with a programme that reaches well beyond jazz into soul, funk, blues and hip-hop, plus an artist in residence, the Paul Acket Award and a commissioned composition project each year. Around 70,000 people attend. The 2027 programme had not been announced at the time of writing.
