Vinterjazz 2026

Vinterjazz is Denmark's only nationwide music festival, spreading jazz across the entire country every February. Now celebrating 25 years, the festival turns Denmark into one giant jazz venue — with over 750 concerts across 170 venues in 50 cities, from Skagen in the north to Svaneke on Bornholm. It's an extraordinary logistical feat that brings world-class jazz to communities far beyond Copenhagen.

The festival is organized by JazzDanmark and serves as a vital platform for both Danish and international jazz artists, enabling far-reaching tours that wouldn't otherwise be possible. Vinterjazz complements the summer Copenhagen Jazz Festival, ensuring that Denmark's jazz scene stays vibrant year-round. From intimate club sets to concert hall performances, the festival covers the full spectrum of jazz — traditional, experimental, vocal, and everything in between.

In Copenhagen, Vinterjazz concerts take place at legendary venues like Jazzhus Montmartre, La Fontaine, and many others. It's the perfect antidote to the Danish winter.
