25th edition of the Dinant Jazz Festival

The annual Dinant Jazz Festival returns with great fanfare this July 2026 to celebrate its 25th edition with a spectacular opening night dedicated to German jazz. The fact that it has, over the years, become one of Belgium’s most important jazz festivals is down to a number of values that have become inextricably linked to its history.

As it does every year, the festival chooses a guest of honor. For this special edition, the chosen guest of honor is the renowned German trumpeter Till Brönner. He will perform on three evenings alongside exceptional musicians.

Another distinctive feature of the Dinant Jazz Festival is its unique, friendly atmosphere, made possible by the dedication of its volunteers.

The festival’s wonderful setting, Saint-Norbert Park, which belongs to Leffe Abbey, is also a distinctive feature of the event.

This year’s line-up will once again strike a balance between emerging talent, established Belgian musicians and internationally renowned artists. A balance is maintained between jazz and its various facets.

All these aspects and values contribute to the charm of this event, which delights musicians and festival-goers alike.

Jazz is a living music form, accessible to everyone.

Long live the Dinant Jazz Festival.
