Brick Lane Jazz Festival, in partnership with Jazz re:freshed and Tomorrow’s Warriors, have announced their first wave of artists for 2025. Returning for a fourth year and headlined by Ragz Orginale, Adi Oasis and Laraaji, it will take place in venues across East London including Juju’s Bar & Stage, Ninety One Living Room, Rough Trade East, 93 Feet East, Rich Mix, Village Underground and more. A complete list of those performers announced is below (more to follow).
Speaking on the fourth edition, organiser Juliet Kennedy says: “Every year I think the lineup can’t possibly beat the previous year, but fortunately the talent on the UK jazz scene is seemingly endless and constantly evolving so we’ve somehow gone and done it again! I love this lineup and I love bringing the masses to Brick Lane with our fantastic partners, Jazz re:freshed and Tomorrow’s Warriors, for a celebration of this incredible, exploding scene that we’re so lucky to be a part of. Let’s go 2025!”
