Programme

Jazz Middelheim is Belgium's iconic jazz festival in Park Den Brandt, Antwerp, offering three days of international artists, open-air concerts and musical exploration. Following a successful relaunch in 2025 under new management, the 2026 edition continues to build a new chapter, reconnecting with openness and curiosity. Since 1969, the festival has been a fixture in the Belgian and international jazz landscape. From 23 to 25 May 2026, during the extended Pentecost weekend, Park Den Brandt becomes a place to listen, wander and reconnect with music, set in a garden in full bloom where sound and space meet naturally.
