JazzFestBrno has announced the complete programme for its autumn 2026 season, which will carry a strong anniversary tone as the festival celebrates a quarter-century of its existence. The 25th edition will bring major international names, special projects and concerts in both large venues and more intimate settings across Brno and beyond.

The autumn season opens with the American collective Snarky Puppy, five-time Grammy Award winners known for their powerful blend of jazz virtuosity, funk, soul and rock energy. Another highlight will be the return of Armenian pianist Tigran Hamasyan, who will present his new project Manifeste, combining jazz, progressive rock, electronics and Armenian folk influences. The anniversary evening on 26 November will feature Cuban pianist Alfredo Rodríguez, whose music brings together Afro-Cuban rhythms, modern jazz and classical precision. The season will close with Alfa Mist, one of the leading figures of the contemporary British nu-jazz scene.

The programme also includes Dorota Barová Ensemble, Isaiah Collier with Collier Plays Coltrane and a jam session led by Ondřej Štveráček Quartet, Dan Bárta & Robert Balzar, Sachal Vasandani, Marta Kloučková & David Dorůžka, Tomoki Sanders, David Binney – Louis Cole – Pera Krstajic, Helicopets, Blu/Bry and the trio Stivín–Zbrožek–Slavík.
