The 38th edition of Eivissa Jazz takes place in Ibiza town from 1 to 5 September, combining international artists with the island’s own musicians across three venues: the Vara de Rey promenade, Reina Sofía park and the Santa Llúcia bastion in Dalt Vila.
1 September – Vara de Rey
The festival opens with SANG, the project of singer and violinist Sinéad Cormican, which blends Mediterranean, Celtic and Andalusian influences with jazz. She is followed by the swing band Jive at Nine, joined by Claudia Ottelli and Iván Pacheco of Swingin’ Tonic.
2 September – Reina Sofía park
The Big Band Ibiza City, directed by Vicente Tur, presents a gospel programme with a line-up of singers. The night continues with Ibossim Flamenco Ibiza, mixing flamenco with Latin jazz.
3 September – Santa Llúcia bastion
From the third night, the festival moves to the bastion of Santa Llúcia in Dalt Vila, part of Ibiza’s UNESCO World Heritage site. The evening begins with the L.A.B. Trio, winners of the revelation award at the 2025 Getxo Jazz festival, followed by The Illusions, led by Ibiza musicians Franco Botto and Pere Navarro, with the New Zealand saxophonist Nathan Haines, a leading figure in acid jazz.
4 September – modern jazz
Ibizan guitarist Antoni Marí leads a sextet of young musicians revisiting the modern jazz of the 1960s. The night closes with the Eivissa Jazz Experience, directed by pianist Abe Rábade, which brings together musicians who have played at previous editions to perform a repertoire prepared especially for the occasion.
5 September – a night of bass
The final night is devoted to the bass. Tonina Saputo, the American bassist, singer and composer, mixes jazz with classical, Latin and African influences. The festival closes with the Brazilian virtuoso Michael Pipoquinha, who blends jazz, soul, funk and Brazilian music and has played with Djavan, Gilberto Gil and Ivan Lins.
Why go
Eivissa Jazz is one of the longest-running festivals on the island, and its setting — particularly the open-air concerts on the walls of Dalt Vila, looking out over the port — is a big part of its appeal. Held at the start of September, it is also a chance to enjoy Ibiza town as the summer crowds begin to thin.
