Jazz Cafe Festival Returns to London in 2025 with Masego as Headliner

Burgess Park Transforms into a Jazz Haven This August

The spirit of Jazz Cafe is heading outdoors once again, and Londoners, you’re in for a treat. Jazz Cafe Festival is back on Sunday, 3rd August 2025, bringing a meticulously curated mix of jazz, hip-hop, R&B, Latin, and everything in between to the heart of South London’s Burgess Park. This sun-soaked, groove-heavy festival promises next-level production, surprise guests, and a lineup designed to satisfy even the most discerning music lovers.

Masego Brings His Signature Sound to Jazz Cafe Festival

Headlining this year’s festival is none other than Masego, the GRAMMY-nominated, genre-defying artist whose smooth saxophone skills and seamless blend of jazz, hip-hop, and R&B have made him a global icon. Kingston-born and internationally celebrated, Masego’s unique sound has led to collaborations with the likes of Drake, Kaytranada, Yussef Dayes, Ari Lennox, and GoldLink. His live performances are nothing short of electric, and Burgess Park will be the perfect setting for his infectious grooves and melodic storytelling.

But he’s not coming alone. The full festival lineup drops in February, and if last year’s mix of legendary icons and fresh breakout talent is anything to go by, expect a musical journey that stretches beyond the boundaries of jazz.

What to Expect at Jazz Cafe Festival 2025

This isn’t your average day in the park. Jazz Cafe Festival 2025 is an evolution of its legendary Camden venue—an intimate setting known for hosting both rising stars and world-class acts for over 35 years. Last year’s debut event was a sold-out, sun-drenched spectacle, featuring four stages packed with soul-soothing beats, genre-bending sounds, and live performances that left the crowd wanting more.

This year, expect:

🎷 A carefully curated lineup blending jazz, hip-hop, R&B, Latin, and experimental sounds

🎛 World-class production bringing the essence of Jazz Cafe to an open-air stage

🌅 A sun-soaked summer Sunday, perfect for music lovers looking to vibe out in a scenic London park

🎤 Surprise guest appearances, because what’s a festival without a few unannounced legends?

The festival builds on that rich legacy, creating a space where music fans can come together for a shared, immersive experience. Expect to discover your next favourite artist while dancing under the London skyline.
