Jazz Middelheim presents an exclusive comfort experience that combines jazz, gastronomy and social impact in a unique way. In collaboration with InstroomArt, the social and culinary project led by top chef Seppe Nobels, we offer a sensory journey that pampers not only the ears but also the soul and the heart.

For decades, Jazz Middelheim has been a symbol of tradition and innovation in the jazz world. With the new edition led by Paradise City – the popular electronic music festival that was crowned the world's greenest festival at last year's A Greener Festival Awards – the legendary jazz event is opening a new chapter. This year is not only about musical innovation but also about the power of collaboration and sustainability. The partnership with InstroomArt, known for its social mission and culinary delights, fits in perfectly with this vision.

Seppe Nobels received his first Michelin Green Star in early 2021 for his vegetable-inspired cuisine and sustainable culinary philosophy, and is at the helm of InstroomArt. In 2014, Nobels was named Best Vegetable Chef in the Benelux by Gault & Millau. His cuisine is all about pure flavours, local products and a deep respect for people and the planet. But InstroomArt is more than a culinary experience – it is a platform for vulnerable groups, such as refugees, newcomers and job seekers, who are trained here to become professional chefs and waiting staff.

‘The dishes we serve are more than just food. They are stories of people who bring their roots to our kitchen. Each bite is a tribute to their culture and a step towards a new future. Together with Jazz Middelheim, we create an experience that not only tastes good, but also inspires.’ - Seppe Nobels

Comfortable guests of Jazz Middelheim 2025 will be immersed in a world of jazz, gastronomy and art. Enjoy culinary creations by InstroomArt and relax in exclusive lounges inside Den Brandt Castle and outside in an atmospheric tent designed by Kader Meraki. Experience practical luxury with a guaranteed parking space, supervised cloakroom, luxury sanitary facilities and an open bar with bubbles, wines, beers and coffee. What's more, comfort for guests has a social impact: every contribution supports InstroomArt in its mission to train vulnerable groups and integrate them into the hospitality sector.

The collaboration between Jazz Middelheim and InstroomArt goes beyond culinary excellence. Both parties share a passion for sustainability and social responsibility. For example, they work with local farmers and producers to reduce their ecological footprint, and InstroomArt students are given the opportunity to show their talents on an international stage.
