With the arrival of autumn, the best of the world’s jazz scene come together at the Madrid International Jazz Festival, better known as JAZZMADRID. The festival will be back at various venues around the city from 5 October to 30 November to turn Madrid into the European epicentre of this musical genre, bringing together leading figures from today’s scene. Established artists (Al Di Meola, Billy Cobham, Chucho Valdés, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Stacy Kent, Avishai Cohen, Martin Taylor, Ulf Wakenius, Hiromi...) and up and coming talents will form part of a programme that pays tribute to Pedro Iturralde, Jerry González and Amy Winehouse and showcases the festival’s commitment to equality and visibility of female musicians (Jazzmeia Horn, Andrea Motis, Leonor Watling, Lizz Wright, Eliane Elias...)
The 2025 programme combines tradition and innovation with more than one hundred concerts, bringing together leading figures from today’s jazz scene, established artists and up and coming talents which will cover a diverse range of styles over the coming two months: from classical jazz to avant-garde, with the mixture of flamenco, electronic and African rhythms that can only offer the liberation of this genre.
In its eleventh edition and as it has been doing so since it was first set up, the formula of the JAZZMADRID 2025 programme maintains the balance between the jazz tradition and the opening up of more innovative trends, with an official programme featuring leading maestros, new voices and unique projects that showcase the creative diversity of the national and international scene.
The official programme will take place at the Teatro Fernán Gómez. Centro Cultural de la Villa, CentroCentro and Contemporánea Condeduque. The festival includes the collaboration of Villanos del Jazz and will once more be at the Villanos and Clamores Concert Halls and at the Pavón, Albéniz and Barceló theatres.
