🎷 Mallorca Jazz Sa Pobla Festival 2026
For more than three decades, the Mallorca Jazz Sa Pobla Festival has been one of the Balearic Islands’ leading celebrations of jazz. Returning for its 32nd edition, the festival once again transforms Sa Pobla into a vibrant cultural hub, bringing together internationally acclaimed musicians, emerging talent and a rich programme of talks, exhibitions, family activities and artistic experiences.
Running from 28 July to 20 August 2026, the festival stays true to its roots while continuing to evolve. Concerts take place across some of Sa Pobla’s most iconic venues, from the opening night in Plaça Major to the beautiful surroundings of Parc de Can Cirera Prim, the intimate courtyard of Can Verdal, the historic setting of Crestatx and other locations throughout the town.
This year’s edition celebrates the 100th anniversary of Miles Davis, honouring one of the most influential figures in jazz history through concerts, talks and special events inspired by his extraordinary legacy. The official artwork has been created by internationally acclaimed Mallorcan artist Albert Pinya, reflecting the festival’s values of creativity, innovation, diversity and artistic freedom.
Alongside its outstanding musical programme, the festival also strengthens its social commitment, with part of the proceeds supporting research into FOXG1 Syndrome, a rare neurological condition.
