About the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz

The Standard Bank Joy of Jazz is more than a music festival; it is a celebration of rhythm, soul, and culture that has captivated audiences for over two decades. As South Africa's premier jazz event, it holds a special place in the hearts of music lovers, blending world-class performances with the vibrancy of Johannesburg, Africa’s dynamic metropolis.

The 2025 edition marks the 26th chapter of this iconic festival, a milestone that will see an extraordinary gathering of international jazz legends and South Africa’s finest musicians. These artists will converge to honor the profound impact of jazz on global culture while showcasing the rich tapestry of South African music. From soulful ballads to electrifying improvisations, the event promises a sensory journey that transcends borders.

Held in the bustling heart of Johannesburg, the festival celebrates not only music but also the city's indomitable spirit. Known for its bold energy and cultural diversity, Johannesburg provides the perfect backdrop for an event that embodies the ethos of social cohesion, economic vitality, and cultural tourism. It’s a city where hard work meets vibrant play, and the Joy of Jazz encapsulates this spirit by offering attendees the chance to immerse themselves in the finest sounds and rhythms.

As the festival continues to grow, it reaffirms its role as a catalyst for artistic expression and community connection. The 2025 Standard Bank Joy of Jazz is more than an event; it’s a testament to the power of music to unite, inspire, and celebrate life.
