From July 3 to July 12, 2026, Perugia will once again host Umbria Jazz, bringing the city to life with a packed schedule of concerts and musical events. Alongside the major evening shows at Arena Santa Giuliana, the festival extends across the city’s main venues—from Giardini Carducci and Piazza IV Novembre to theatrical spaces such as Teatro Morlacchi—with free concerts, afternoon performances, and evening events that reflect the festival’s widespread presence.
The lineup opens on July 3 with Sting and his Sting 3.0 – World Tour. On July 4, the Arena hosts Perigeo – The Last Concert, alongside a performance by BEAT. July 5 features Annie and The Caldwells and Jon Batiste, an evening blending diverse musical languages.
On July 6, the program continues with Charles Lloyd, joined by Gerald Clayton, Harish Raghavan, and Kweku Sumbry, followed by Terence Blanchard & Ravi Coltrane with their Miles/Coltrane Centennial Celebration, a tribute to two central figures in jazz. On July 7, the stage welcomes Laurie Anderson with Republic of Love alongside Sexmob, and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, a leading voice in contemporary blues.
On July 8, Snarky Puppy performs with the Metropole Orkest, conducted by Jules Buckley, while the festival closes on July 11 with a concert by Zucchero.
