Jazzahead! 2026

In 2026, jazzahead! reaches a symbolic milestone with its 20th edition, taking place in Bremen (Germany) from April 23 to 25. Both a conference, a showcase festival and a trade fair, the event has established itself as the leading meeting point for the international jazz scene.

As in previous years, VI.BE and Wallonie-Bruxelles Musiques will once again join forces under the Belgium Booms banner, with the support of Sabam, PlayRight and Lotto, to showcase the richness and diversity of the Belgian jazz scene to international professionals.

This year’s edition will notably highlight two Belgian projects selected for the official programme: 

· Fri 24 - NABOU - 14:45 (Hall 7 - Stage 7.1)
· Sat 25 - Wajdi Riahi Trio - 15:30 (Hall 7 - Stage 7.1)

Throughout the event, the Belgium Booms team will welcome you at stand 6B60 to initiate new collaborations and connect with professionals from the Belgian jazz scene. The full list of delegates is available here.

Don’t miss our Belgium Booms reception on Friday, April 24 at 16:00, the perfect moment to connect, grow your network, in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
