Fano Jazz By The Sea 2026

Live Fano to the rhythm of great jazz

Fano Jazz By The Sea returns in 2026 with a new edition capable of transforming the city into a widespread stage between sea, history and music. A festival recognized for the quality of its artistic proposal, which brings to Fano some of the most interesting and established names on the international scene, just a stone’s throw from the Adriatic.

With evening concerts, special events, collateral projects and moments to be lived in the heart of the city, the festival offers an experience that goes beyond the live show: it is an invitation to discover Fano through music, in a unique atmosphere suspended between the Rocca Malatestiana, the historic center and the landscape of the area.

Because you can’t lose it

Fano Jazz By The Sea is much more than a music festival: it is an immersive cultural experience that combines great concerts, exceptional venues and a strong territorial identity. The Main Stage at the Rocca Malatestiana hosts some of the stars of contemporary jazz, while the festival also opens up to young talent, family activities, wellness moments, widespread events and special initiatives designed to experience Fano in an authentic way.

The 2026 billboard brings to Fano artists such as Fatoumata Diawara, MonoNeon, Alfredo Rodriguez Trio, Hamilton de Holanda Trio, Tania Giannouli Trio feat. Michele Rabbia, Jacob Karlzon and Fusion Experience with Dave Weckl and Richard Bona, until the Aug. 1 event at the Golena del Furlo in Acqualagna.

A festival to be experienced, on and off the stage

Alongside the concerts, Fano Jazz By The Sea offers a true festival experience: Green Jazz Village, special events, activities for children and families, Jazz For Kids, Fringe Events, Yoga & Jazz, sunrise concerts and other formats that make the festival an open, contemporary and engaging experience.

The Green Jazz Village, set up in the gardens in front of the Rocca Malatestiana, hosts concerts, jazz aperitifs, art installations, info points, beverage areas and activities dedicated also to children, confirming itself as one of the beating hearts of the festival.
