London Jazz Festival 2024
Get ready to listen to amazing musicians as they create magic on stage at this year's London Jazz Festival!
The now-famous EFG London Jazz Festival began in 1992, expanding on the Camden Jazz Week, which had been running since 1970. Serious, the festival’s producer, continues to curate a rich program of jazz and contemporary music in many different venues throughout London.
Sponsored by EFG Private Bank, which gave the festival its official name, the EFG London Jazz Festival has become a meeting point for world-class artists and emerging stars.
Promoting cultural diversity is a big part of the jazz tradition. As one of the main spots promoting multiculturalism, London is a perfect city for this kind of event.
Some of the venues are the Barbican Centre and the Royal Festival Hall, which host legendary jazz stars. For those favoring a cozier venue, venues like Ronnie Scott's and the London Village Underground host grass-roots jazz bands.
This year's festival runs from November 15 to November 24.
