This event will take place in EartH Theatre.

This special event in London is organized by JAZZx, a festival at the forefront of the European jazz scene. Now at the 13th edition, JAZZx attracted artists with over 130 Grammy Awards combined. The London experience was organized to offer a taste of the festival’s signature energy, diversity, and world-class performances. The main event is held annually in Timișoara, Romania, with open-air concerts, genre-fusing performances and night sessions - all with free access for everyone. Concerts take place in the historic Liberty Square and daytime performances bring music into unexpected urban spaces.

Join us for a night where jazz meets poetry, beats meet stories, and live music takes you places you never expected.

IOANAx Soultrain - A custom project developed exclusively by JAZZx and Subcarpați, following in the footsteps of SUBJazz (Subcarpați x JazzyBit) and highlighting the festival’s unique identity. This collaboration breathes new life into Romanian folklore, wrapping it in the freedom of jazz.

At the heart of the project is Ioana Milculescu’s powerful voice-a bridge between tradition and modernity, transforming every song into an intense and authentic journey. She is joined by an exceptional lineup of musicians and members of the Subcarpați universe. Together, they reimagine and reorchestrate Ioana’s songs, giving them a fresh sound.

More than just a musical performance, IOANAx Soultrain is a rediscovery of ancestral roots through a modern language, creating a captivating experience filled with raw emotions.

Tongue-Fu - One of the UK's most thrilling spoken-word and live music experiences, Tongue-Fu delivers razor-sharp poetry, freestyle storytelling, and genre-hopping musical improvisation. Expect the unexpected as words and music collide in real time.

My Analog Journal (Shaqdi B2B Zag Erlat) - The globally-renowned DJs will take you on a vinyl-powered odyssey through jazz, funk, rare grooves, and forgotten sounds from around the world. A true tastemaker in the world of analogue music, MAJ’s set is guaranteed to surprise and inspire.
