The story

EFG London Jazz Festival in London

Europe's largest pan-city music festival, held across London venues each November since its creation in 1992 by jazz production company Serious. Now known as the EFG London Jazz Festival following sponsorship since 2013, it stages over three hundred shows for an audience exceeding one hundred thousand people.

The London Jazz Festival grew out of Camden's own Jazz Week, added to the borough's wider Camden Festival in 1970 and staged at venues across Camden for roughly fifteen years afterward, establishing a template for London-wide jazz programming that later organisers would build on at a larger scale.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival was created by Serious, a jazz and contemporary music tour production company founded in 1984, giving it access to established international booking networks from its earliest years rather than building relationships from scratch as a new promoter

02

The mystery stays covered

Its scale as the largest pan-city music festival in Europe, spreading more than three hundred shows across London neighbourhoods far beyond the city's major concert halls, gives it a genuinely citywide geographic reach that few comparable festivals attempt

Traditions & symbols

The language of the festival.

What moves first

Living ritual

A mix of major international jazz names alongside British artists and emerging talent across both major concert halls and small club venues has remained the festival's programming approach since its creation in 1992
