Big Jazz Day Out returns for another full-venue takeover, transforming MPAC into an all-day celebration of jazz and contemporary music. More than 100 musicians will appear across five stages, offering audiences everything from orchestral collaborations and Brazilian rhythms to soul-jazz, big band energy and genre-blending new works.
This year’s program features headline performances from Vince Jones, Mildlife, Mindy Meng Wang and Paul Grabowsky, and Mama Alto, alongside genre-spanning sets from The Shuffle Club, The Cloud Maker, Aaron Choulai and MC Roman, and standout Brazilian, Latin and soul-jazz ensembles.
A single ticket provides all-day access to every performance across MPAC’s venues, creating a seamless festival experience for families, new listeners and committed jazz fans alike.
