A hidden 11-acre woodland glade, located just a stone’s throw from the Birmingham city buzz, becomes a place where the air hums with the rhythm of world-class basslines. This is the magic of the Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Festival, returning to the enchanting Moseley Park and Pool from July 10–12, 2026. It isn’t just an average weekend gig.
The venue itself acts as a natural amphitheater, a lush green bowl. For three days, this private park transforms into a community-centric haven where legendary icons and fresh discoveries share the same stage. The 2026 lineup is already shaping up to be legendary.
Whether you are a crate-digging vinyl enthusiast or a family looking for a sun-drenched afternoon (and under-12s join the fun for free), the atmosphere is consistently optimistic and discovery-oriented. Between sets, Birmingham’s finest street foods are a perfect match for a cold craft beer from local favorites like HopArt.
Not able to make it? The Jazz Room in Birmingham at The Jam House is a vibrant journey through soul, jazz, and blues. Between the dim lighting and the scent of sophisticated cocktails, every performance offers a blend of structured classics and spontaneous, soaring improvisations.
