Bree Street Jazz Hop - ALL ACCESS TICKET

THIS TICKET GIVES YOU ACCESS TO ALL BREE STREET JAZZ HOP VENUES As Cape Town rolls into Jazz Week in March 2026, a new rhythm takes over the inner city. Jazz In The City 2026 reimagines what a jazz festival can be — deconstructing the traditional format and turning a six–block stretch of Bree Street into a one-night, walkable jazz circuit. Brought to you by Heineken, Powered by FNB Speedpoint, and supported by the City of Cape Town, Jazz in the City is positioned as the fringe, street-level alternative alongside the major international  jazz festivals taking place in and around Cape Town, and invites audiences to rediscover jazz in the places where cities truly breathe — galleries, bars, fashion stores, social clubs, wine bars, hidden rooms and open public spaces. For one night only, Bree Street — bordered by Castle Street and Wale Street — becomes the Bree Street Jazz Hop. Ten venues and pop-up performance spaces form a dynamic circuit of ticketed and free shows, encouraging audiences to move, explore, and curate their own experience. This is not a single-stage festival. It is a living, breathing jazz encounter. The Line-Up Sisonke Xonti One of South Africa’s most compelling tenor saxophone voices, Xonti’s sound blends spiritual depth with fearless improvisation. Known for his international collaborations and commanding stage presence, he represents a new generation rooted in tradition yet unbound by it. Vuyo Viwe An internationally celebrated vocalist, flautist and composer, Vuyo’s rich baritone and nuanced phrasing move effortlessly between jazz, soul and African idioms, bringing emotional resonance to every performance. Yonela Mnana An inspired pianist and composer, Mnana’s playing is introspective, poetic and expansive. His work bridges African spirituality and contemporary jazz sensibilities with striking originality. Kujenga A boundary-pushing collective redefining South African jazz for a new era, Kujenga merges groove, experimentation and improvisation into an electrifying live experience. Herbie Tsoaeli A veteran bassist and composer whose tone and depth have anchored generations of South African jazz innovation, Tsoaeli continues to shape the country’s sonic landscape. Muneeb Hermans A dynamic trumpeter with global reach, Hermans combines technical brilliance with bold contemporary influences, pushing the instrument into fresh territory. DJ Bob's Jazz Club Adding a late-night vinyl pulse to the circuit, DJ Bob's Jazz Club will be present — spinning rare grooves, deep cuts and jazz-inflected selections that connect eras on wax.
