XJAZZ! WEEKENDER: 28-31.5.2026 with Moses Yoofee Trio, Gilles Peterson, Kit Downes, Sorvina and more!
- May 28 2026 - May 31 2026
What started as a response is becoming something bigger.
The XJAZZ! WEEKENDER, originally announced as a two-day format, now expands into a four-day journey across Berlin. Not because we planned it this way, but because the energy around it kept growing.
More artists wanted to be part of it.
More spaces opened up.
And it became clear: this moment deserves more time.
From May 28 to 31, we invite you into 4 days shaped by music, encounters, and the evolving spirit of XJAZZ!.
