Make it Jazz Festival

Artists who are at the start of a successful music career or who have already taken the first steps towards their big musical future. From acoustic melodies to hard electro grooves: Make It Jazz has it all!

First of all, we start at the roots of young jazz talent, where musicians turn into makers. For musicians who take the first steps towards their own compositions and initiatives, we have the Jazzronde on Thursday evening, a jazz variant of the well-known Popronde. Young musicians and bands can sign up for the Jazzronde and be programmed in the city centre. From pubs to underground venues: Tilburg is bustling with jazz talent!

To show what all this can lead to, an ‘international upcoming’ musician will be programmed on Friday evening. Someone who is not yet known in the Netherlands, but has made a name for themselves on an international level. Subsequently, on Saturday evening, a varied program can be found on 3 stages: Paradox, International Center & the Kraakkelder (near the Nieuwe Vorst).

Get inspired by getting a unique glimpse into the future of improvised music.
