Hastings Jazz Festival returns on October 3rd for another full day of live music in Hastings’ historic America Ground.
The second edition dives deeper into the Jazz Spectrum with highlights including fusion-prog rock legends Soft Machine, Fela Kuti collaborator Bukky Leo with his Afrobeat ensemble Black Egypt, and Mercury Prize finalist Soweto Kinch.
The festival will take place across four independent venues in Hastings town centre. Barnaby’s Lounge brings you up close and personal with heavyweights and rising stars. Henry Ward Hall returns as the festival’s grand concert space. New this year, Printworks joins as our gritty, lively and truly dance-friendly space, and NUR Restaurant will be serving up delicious food, drinks and all-day jazz jams.
From intimate brunch sessions and straight-ahead improvisation to Afrobeat grooves, fusion experiments and late-night jams, this year’s lineup reflects Hastings Jazz Fest’s growing ambition to explore jazz in all its forms.
