Festival News: Love Supreme Jazz Festival 2026 Announces First Wave Of Artists
Love Supreme Jazz Festival, which will return to Glynde Place in East Sussex from Friday July 3rd to Sunday July 5th 2026, has announced the first wave of artists confirmed for next summer’s edition including its first two headliners – Ezra Collective and Loyle Carner.
For the first time, Love Supreme will feature three full days of main stage programming, opening on Friday July 3rd with a headline performance from Mercury Prize and Brit Award-winning Ezra Collective. Having first performed at the festival as an emerging act in 2016 - a show they describe as a career breakthrough - and following acclaimed sets in 2018 and 2022, the group have since risen to become one of the UK’s most celebrated and internationally recognised jazz acts and return in 2026 as main stage headliners. In addition to their headline performance, the group will take on a special curatorial role for the festival’s opening day, which they have dubbed Temple Of Joy. They will shape the Friday line-up, inviting a handpicked selection of artists who reflect their musical influences, collaborative spirit, and the vibrant diversity of the jazz, soul and wider musical scenes.
