In May 2026, Jazz Middelheim returns to Park Den Brandt. Following last year's revamped edition, the festival returns for the second time under new organization.
This time, we are taking it a step further. Three days of music, spread over the extended Pentecost weekend. From Saturday, May 23 to Monday, May 25.
Once again, the park will be a place to listen, wander around, and pause for a moment. An environment where music can unfold at its own pace, surrounded by blooming greenery and cutting-edge sound and lighting. The upcoming edition builds upon what Jazz Middelheim stands for. A program that honors the deep roots of jazz, while simultaneously looking actively forward.
Established names alongside a new generation of artists who stretch, bend, and reshape the genre. Because jazz has never stood still. Experimentation, exchange, and evolution are part of its core.
