Artists at Lancaster Jazz Festival
Lancaster Jazz Festival has a track record of promoting cutting-edge contemporary jazz and we aim to provide spaces for the musicians who make it to produce their best work.
Our relationships with artists is at the heart of what we do at the Lancaster Jazz Festival and we host training and networking events at the festival and ad-hoc focus groups throughout the year.
We usually offer accommodation for artists playing the festival and encourage the ‘hang’ that this can facilitate, giving artists the chance to meet and check out each other’s projects.
Want to play the festival?
The Lancaster Jazz Festival open programme is open to all artists without restriction.
At Lancaster Jazz Festival we want to promote brilliant musicians from the breadth of contemporary jazz. We are interested in promoting a diverse programme of events from around the UK, which includes new works, genre pushing acts, emerging artists and projects, and cross art form collaborations.
Deadline for applications is the midnight Sunday 15th February 2026. We aim to be in touch with everyone who has applied by the middle of April.
