WINTER JAZZFEST TOKYO 2026

Saturday, February 7

WINTER JAZZ FEST, a city-wide festival where you can experience cutting-edge jazz and a winter tradition in New York, will be coming to Tokyo in the winter of 2026.

Founded in 2005 in a small jazz club in Manhattan with the concept of inheriting the rebellious spirit of jazz and transforming culture and society through the power of music, WINTER JAZZ FEST has contributed to expanding the jazz audience with young and diverse music fans. It now spans the entire New York area, showcasing up-and-coming sounds while respecting jazz's heritage. As a showcase for contemporary jazz, it has become a festival where industry professionals from around the world gather to discover the next stars.

In support of the spirit of WINTER JAZZFEST NEWYORK, which aims to bring jazz to a wider audience and change culture and society through the power of music, we will be holding the first-ever "WINTER JAZZFEST TOKYO 2026." The Tokyo edition will kick off at WWW X, a venue in Shibuya that has been promoting cutting-edge music culture for 10 years.

WINTER JAZZFEST TOKYO aims to serve as a bridge between the music cultures of New York and Japan, and to spread the power and joy of music to the world.
