Are you a contemporary genre-pushing jazz artist creating new and surprising music? Would you like to help celebrate 30 years of manchester’s longest running music festival? Then this is the opportunity for you! Apply to play mjf2025 (16-25 May).
mjf was the first festival to pioneer an open artists’ submission system and this still informs their programme today, accounting for over 30% of their lineup. And with next year being their 30th anniversary they are expecting mjf2025 to take place on a much larger scale than previous years.
They’re a contemporary jazz festival and champion artists playing original work – especially those living and working in the north west of England, although applications are welcome from all over the world.
They are brave in their programming, constantly on the lookout for up and coming talent, and often give a platform to new and surprising music.
