Joy of Jazz 2027
Dates taking place: September 2027 (Dates TBA)
Location: Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa
Some people collect stamps. Other people collect rare wine. For a jazz aficionado-collecting is capturing a precious moment. It is that instance when a saxophonist unexpectedly creates something so beautiful that it makes you momentarily forget that you were standing in a throng of people drinking something overpriced. In this case, there are two meanings to the title of the Joy of Jazz Festival 2027 that will be held in September at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg. It is the longest running jazz festival in Africa and it is one of the greatest reasons to visit South Africa.
What is the Joy of Jazz all about?
Imagine this: South Africa's international jazz festival hosts over 30 artists from all the continents broken down to 4 stages in just 3 days. Incredible, right? The festival is in its 3rd decade now, and believe it or not, it gets better with every launch. The line-up is made of the international jazz legends mixing it up with the super talented artists from South Africa. You will be spoilt for choice because you will have multiple options of artists that you have never heard of and you will be travelling with an entire catalog of their work!

Three Days, Four Stages, Zero Regrets
One of the best things about the Joy of Jazz festival is the variety it boasts. Jazz purists and fusionists alike, and music lovers of Afro-jazz, contemporary R&B, and soul all have their representation. Past line-ups have included multi-day Grammy-level artists, and this elevates the quality of the festival. One-, two-, and three-day options let attendees customize their experience, but look out: attendees of single-day passes return supremely envious of what they think was the festival’s best set. The Sandton Convention Centre is set up for a free-flowing style festival, right in the middle of Johannesburg, with thousands of accommodations nearby. With timing and transport conflicts eased, no one needs to worry about missing their favorite set.
