Johannesburg is alive with anticipation as the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz 2025 returns to the Sandton Convention Centre from 26 – 28 September. Known as South Africa’s premier jazz festival, this year promises unforgettable nights of rhythm, soul, and community.
The lineup is as dazzling as ever — from the experimental brilliance of Siya Makuzeni, the soulful artistry of Berita, and the legendary touch of Andile Yenana, to international greats like Esperanza Spalding and Kurt Elling. With over 60 performers across multiple stages, every evening will be a feast for jazz lovers.
What sets Joy of Jazz apart is its atmosphere — a blend of world-class performances, cultural pride, and the joy of gathering with fellow music enthusiasts. It’s more than a festival; it’s a celebration of artistry, storytelling, and South Africa’s deep love for jazz.
