25th Athens Jazz
25-31.05.2026
Athens Jazz celebrated its 25th anniversary with a one-of-a-kind line-up and the most extensive program of side events in its history. Over the course of 7 days, 20 unique acts from 19 different countries took the stage with explosive energy, improvisation, and endless jazz vibes. The 25th Athen Jazz kicked off with the most special Greek Day to date, even presenting a band exclusively curated for this event, which bridged the festival’s present and past.
The side events rounded out the program with exhibitions, a Meet Market, parties, a film screening, installations, and performances, as well as a day dedicated to young visitors.
Music, creativity, and the audience became one, in yet another unforgettable moment at Athens’ most timeless festival.
The 25th Athens Jazz was held with the support of Technopolis’ Mega Sponsor COSMOTE TELEKOM, the Festival Sponsor METAXA, Technopolis’ Sponsors Athenian Brewery and Arrena Natural Mineral Water, the Hospitality Sponsor Athenaeum Hotels, the Official Air Carrier AEGEAN, the Transportation Sponsor Welcome Pickups and Filippos Nakas Stores. We extend our warmest thanks to all of them. We also thank our media sponsors, as well as the embassies and cultural institutes of the participating countries.
