Inner West Jazz Fest 2026: Night Three
The fourth edition of the Inner West Jazz Fest returns with a line up of remarkable new jazz and improvised music for audiences who want to be planted firmly at the edge of their seats. With artists coming from Melbourne, Adelaide, Stanmore, Newtown (and beyond!) expect the radical, beautiful and straight up amazing across three focussed nights at 21 Shepherd Street, Marrickville from August 27th – 29th.

From Mike Nock, presenting his legendary trio album “ONDAS” in full, to the launch of the new trio album from Jess Green and Dylan Van Der Schyff with Sandy Evans, Inner West Jazz Fest 2026 represents the living, breathing energy of creative music from our elders to a new generation burning bright.

Each year, the festival presents a snapshot of local creative mastery functioning at a world class level. For 2026 we are excited to bring you three nights of inspiration for our community of music lovers.
