JAZZ ON WICK returns to Hackney Wick on 5th September 2026.

A cross-genre, multi-venue celebration from the minds behind Colour Factory, ORII and Voices, this year's programme reflects what Jazz on Wick is about – improvised, soulful and genre-defying.

Grime icon D DOUBLE E joins forces with ZEÑEL for a jazz-meets-grime crossover set that really sums up what the festival is all about, while MOBO winner EGO ELLA MAY brings neo soul introspection, drummer JAS KAYSER delivers a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Tony Allen and neo-R&B maverick SHAE UNIVERSE makes her Jazz on Wick debut.

Elsewhere, we've got Manny hip hop stalwarts THE MOUSE OUTFIT and pure jazz-funk-meets-house improv from ZIGGY ZEITGEIST, with the DJ programme bringing a different dimension.

Expect some incredible collective takeovers too, from THE SILHOUETTES PROJECT - one of the most vital grassroots crews in UK music – to BBE marking 30 years with their full crew and very special guest ESA WILLIAMS, plus an APRON RECORDS DJ takeover headed up by label boss STEVEN JULIEN.
