The Perth International Jazz Festival is set to close its 2025 program with a brand-new event that will bring jazz to the streets on Northbridge.

The PIJF Block Party will take over the Urban Orchard on Saturday, November 1, transforming the Northbridge precinct into a high-energy music hub blending jazz with funk, soul, hip-hop and pop.

Festival director Mace Francis said the new flagship event was an exciting evolution for the long-running jazz festival.

“This festival-style bill, with multiple headline acts and a mix of supporting artists in a public open space, is a fresh new concept for PIJF,” he said.

“It reflects our mission to evolve how people experience jazz — by embracing the diversity of styles it influences, from funk and soul to pop and hip-hop.”
