Liverpool is set to be transformed into the jazz capital of the UK this February as Liverpool International Jazz Festival takes over the city once again! This festival, now in its 13th year, will be the biggest yet - with no less than 14 events showcasing both international and local talent in a week-long programme.
The festival’s main events featuring international stars are taking place at The Capstone Theatre from Thursday 26 February until Sunday 1 March, whilst the Fringe Festival is running from 21 February at various venues across the city. In 1919, Liverpool became the first city to welcome jazz onto UK shores and in 2026 it’s thriving more than ever thanks to this incredible extravaganza.
