Apply to Play: Manchester Jazz Festival

Artist submissions to perform at mjf2023 are now open

mjf was the first festival to pioneer an open artists’ submission system and this still informs our programme today.

We’re a contemporary jazz festival and we champion artists playing original work – especially those living and working in the north west of England.

We are brave in our programming, constantly on the lookout for up and coming talent, and often give a platform to new and surprising music.
