Choose the concert and its venue
Melbourne International Jazz Festival is a city-wide concert programme rather than one fenced festival site. The 2026 programme includes jazz, soul, funk and blues. Check each show’s venue, date and seating arrangement before combining performances in one evening.

Ticket sellers and vouchers differ
Tickets may be sold through the festival or an authorised venue. The festival’s gift vouchers apply to tickets sold through its own ticketing system, not purchases made directly from a venue. Check the checkout and voucher conditions before buying a gift.

Accessibility is listed by venue
The festival uses access symbols and venue-specific information. A missing wheelchair-access symbol can indicate limitations, so contact the festival or venue before booking. Allow time between venues rather than treating a city programme like adjacent outdoor stages.
