March 2027 will transform Cape Town into a jazz haven, as the Cape Town International Jazz Festival (CTIJF) evolves into a month-long celebration of music and culture.
Since its inception in 2000, the festival has evolved from a bold and ambitious vision into a globally recognised celebration of music, culture, and creativity.
What began as a pioneering platform for jazz in South Africa has grown into a landmark event on the international festival calendar, welcoming thousands of attendees annually and positioning Cape Town as a leading destination for live music on the continent.
Over the years, the CTIJF has hosted an extraordinary range of artists, from global icons such as Herbie Hancock, Earth, Wind & Fire, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Al Jarreau, and Chaka Khan, to jazz luminaries including Lauryn Hill, Marcus Miller, Wayne Shorter, and Esperanza Spalding.
