As autumn arrives, the world's finest jazz performers gather in Madrid for the International Jazz Festival, widely known as JAZZMADRID. Traditionally held in November, the festival is set to return from 5 October to 30 November 2025, once again transforming Madrid into the European epicentre of this musical genre. Established artists and emerging talents will form a programme that will unfold across the city.
Every year, iconic venues such CentroCentro, Condeduque Contemporary Culture Centre, Matadero Madrid and Fernán Gómez Centro Cultural de la Villa host performances by essential figures from the current jazz scene. The festival highlights the full spectrum of jazz styles, presenting the genre in all its forms, from classic jazz to avant-garde, to fusions with other styles like flamenco, electronic music, and African rhythms.
In the 2024 edition, over 53,000 spectators attended the festival’s 166 concerts, of which 72 were sold out (including performances by Eliane Elías, Pat Metheny, Michel Camilo and Tomatito, and Paquito D'Rivera).
In addition to the main programme, other series of jazz concerts are usually held in smaller venues including the Villanos del Jazz series and performances at iconic bars like Café Central, Café Jazz El Despertar, Café Berlín, Tempo Audiophile Club and Sala Maravillas .
