Vijazz, renowned for blending internationally acclaimed jazz artists with the wines and cavas of Penedès, has launched ticket sales for the paid activities of its 2026 edition. While the main concerts at the Escenari Principal Jaume I are free to attend, the festival offers a selection of paid events. These include the Elles i el Jazz cycle at the Claustre Sant Francesc, tasting and pairing programs in the stalls of the Casal Societat – La Principal, and the Enojazz event, which precedes the festival's official start. Tickets are now available for purchase via the festival's official website.
The musical lineup for the Elles i el Jazz cycle will feature performances by Estefane Santos Quintet, Camarada Ventura, and Marta Garrett. This series will take place in the iconic Claustre Sant Francesc in Vilafranca del Penedès, with a limited capacity of 200 attendees. As a prelude to the festival, the two big bands from the Escola de Música Municipal M. Dolors Calvet will present Enojazz, this year with the collaboration of saxophonist Perico Sambeat.
The stalls of the Casal Societat – La Principal will once again host the Vijazz tastings and pairings, offering attendees the chance to explore the wine richness and gastronomic heritage of Penedès. In addition to the traditional pairings featuring Iberian products, sushi, and cheeses from Ametller Origen, new experiences have been introduced. These include a tasting commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Ruta del Vi Penedès, pairings from DO Cava and DO Penedès with local products, a session guided by the third-best sommelier in Spain, Toni Albiol, and pairings featuring offerings from Can Caneló and the Associació de Criadors del Gall del Penedès IGP.
Vijazz 2026 is scheduled to take place from July 3rd to 5th in Vilafranca del Penedès. The lineup boasts international headliners such as Incognito, Nubya Garcia, and Esperanza Spalding. The wine and cava fair will be held again on Rambla Sant Francesc, under a marquee exceeding 1,200 square meters. Tickets for the fair, which include access to the seating area of the Escenari Principal – Jaume I, will be sold during the festival days. Entry to the seating area will be on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached, with the option to watch the concerts from behind this zone.
