Event Description
We are delighted to announce that Kildare Jazz Festival will return in April 2025!
Join us for a music packed weekend featuring national and international artists as we embark on a thrilling ride through the nuances of jazz.
Kildare Jazz Festival opens on Friday 4 April with the Emerging Act, which will be an act selected through an open call process. This is open to any Irish-based Jazz acts, offering an opportunity to an early career artist to be part of a high profile line-up. Applications are open until Thursday 20 February.
Workshops return to Newbridge Town Hall – make sure to book early as places are limited!
Each event is priced individually, with Day and Weekend tickets available! Just make sure to add all events (even the free ones!) to your cart and the discount will be automatically applied.
Curated by Kasia Eliasz and funded by The Arts Council, Kildare Jazz Festival held it’s inaugural festival in November 2023. This new iteration of Kildare Jazz Festival promises a bigger line-up and an opportunity for some of Irelands rising stars of jazz to have their chance to shine!
