Melbourne International Jazz Festival 2016
A celebration of jazz in all its forms.
Overview
The stars of the local and international jazz scene are getting ready to blow. Running from June 3 to 12, the Melbourne International Jazz Festival is back for another year featuring another stellar lineup. From concert performances to club sessions — as well as walking tours, workshops and artists in conversation — it's a copacetic celebration of jazz in all its forms.
Standout shows on the jam-packed program include the free opening night concert on the stage at Federation Square, a reworking of Van Morrison classics by celebrated jazz singer Vince Jones, and a tribute to the legendary Billie Holiday from American vocalist José James. Those after something a little more intimate, meanwhile, can swing by Bennetts Lane, Uptown Jazz Cafe or Dizzy's Jazz Club, where you can catch a different festival show practically every evening.
