XJAZZ! FESTIVAL 2025 returns to Berlin.
For a third year, we will welcome artists from the XJAZZ! line up to Weserstraße for chats and music with our host Henry Weekes. Tune in from 12-2PM each day, May 14-18, for the festival residency. More info on the exact program will be released in the week before the festival.
This year XJAZZ! plans a more intimate and accessible format, celebrating the diversity of jazz with concerts from legends of the genre alongside a Berlin Focus day, spotlighting the wealth of local talent we have in the city. The festival line up so far includes Alabaster DePlume, Moor Mother, Lonnie Holley, musclecars, Yukimi (of Little Dragon) and many more. Tickets and more info is available from the XJAZZ! website.
