Save the date: the 26th Dinant Jazz Festival will take place from Friday 30 July to Sunday 1 August 2027, in the Parc Saint-Norbert at Leffe Abbey.
Three days of jazz at the height of summer, in a setting that needs no introduction. And this year, the festival comes with a strong statement.
An edition led entirely by women
For its 26th edition, the Dinant Jazz Festival has chosen a theme close to its heart: “Women Lead the Way”. Every band on the line-up will be led by a woman, whether a singer, pianist, saxophonist, bassist, drummer or composer.
Jazz history has long been told through men's stories, yet women have shaped the music since its very beginnings. Today, a new generation of artists is making its mark on stages around the world, alongside established figures. The festival wants to put them in the spotlight, not as a box to tick, but as the common thread of an entire edition.
What stays the same
The spirit of the festival remains unchanged: a warm, friendly atmosphere, welcoming volunteers, and a line-up that balances young talent, established Belgian musicians and internationally renowned artists. Jazz in all its facets.
What's next?
The line-up will be revealed in the coming months. Follow us on social media and on this blog so you don't miss the first announcements.
See you in Dinant from 30 July to 1 August 2027.
