A sincere and heartfelt thank you to all 11.000 of you! As the final notes fade, we look back on an unforgettable journey. What started in 1969 as a cosy jazz gathering by Elias Gistelinck and later continued by Miel Vanattenhoven had many ups and downs, but it's definitely back now. A new chapter has begun, one with renewed energy, ready to embrace the future.

When we took over this piece of legendary jazz history, we knew we had to do it right. Our team, our volunteers, our artists: everyone put in the blood, sweat, and tears to make this moment possible. After years of preparation, every effort came together in the most beautiful way.

Together with you, we brought the magic of Jazz Middelheim back to life, and we know this energy will resonate for many more years to come. Thank you to everyone who made this new chapter a captivating, shining reality. We see you, we hear you, we love you. Jazz Middelheim is back baby.

See you back next year in Park Den Brandt on 22-25 May 2026. Please follow us on our social media pages to see all the beautiful content we have made in the past week.
