Jazz Middelheim's return is marked by a fresh twist: the addition of a dynamic new stage dedicated to the ever-evolving jazz scene. As today's undeniable tastemakers across the media spectrum, the role of a DJ selector DJ deserves a spot on this festival, too. But don't expect loud dance music or soaring basslines. This stage is a playground for all generations—a place where daytime listening naturally flows into evening dancing.

Nestled between some leafy trees and a circle of colourful linens, Jasm is designed to spark movement and imagination. It's a circle of sounds from across the globe - like a warm embrace for your senses. Tune in, zone out, and let the selector guide with classic releases, unheard gems and rare B-sides. Expect jazz, soul, funk, disco, deep house and cuts from every corner of the planet.

Fun fact: the name "jazz" likely originally derives from the word "jasm," meaning "drive" or "energy" in the late 19th century.

You're invited to step into a space where sound, design, and movement come together to create an experience that's both intimate and expansive. At Jasm, the future of jazz is always in motion.
