In the organizer's words:

ELBJAZZ is back! The popular festival in the Port of Hamburg returns in 2026 - with fresh energy, new ideas and a strong line-up!
The first acts have already been confirmed. These include Jamie Cullum, a dream headliner who, with his stylistic openness and musical curiosity, is emblematic of what ELBJAZZ is all about.

Also confirmed are José James, who will perform Marvin Gaye's classic album "I Want You" together with singer China Moses, the British psychedelic soul singer-songwriter Greentea Peng, Herbert & Momoko, the joint project of Matthew Herbert and Momoko Gill, and the NDR Big Band, who will also be back at the next edition and will present a program together with John Beasley this year to mark the 100th anniversary of Miles Davis' birth!
The Elbphilharmonie Specials already promise special highlights : British soul singer Joss Stone will be giving a concert in Hamburg's landmark on 10.07. - the act for the Elbphilharmonie Special on 11.07. will be announced shortly!

Further acts are being planned and will be announced soon.
