Europe’s largest outdoor jazz festival, the Love Supreme Jazz Festival, is gearing up for its highly anticipated return to the scenic grounds of Glynde Place in East Sussex. Taking place from Friday, July 3 to Sunday, July 5, 2026, the upcoming edition features a massive, genre-spanning musical programme anchored by major headlining performances from Ezra Collective, Loyle Carner, and De La Soul.
The festival kicks off on Friday night with the Brit Award and Mercury Prize-winning ensemble Ezra Collective. In addition to headlining, the group will curate "Temple Of Joy," a unique opening-day celebration of the specific music, artists, and community that initially inspired their career. Acclaimed British hip-hop artist Loyle Carner is scheduled to make his official Love Supreme debut with a primetime Saturday headline slot, while legendary hip-hop pioneers De La Soul will close out the weekend on Sunday evening, delivering their only full-band UK concert performance of the year.
The expansive weekend billing also features an array of legendary acts and contemporary heavyweights, including Sister Sledge, Gabrielle, Jalen Ngonda, Free Nationals, Samara Joy, esperanza spalding, Courtney Pine, and a collaborative performance by classic soul icons The Temptations & The Four Tops. Beyond the main stages, the event's late-night programming features a high-profile DJ set from Anderson .Paak performing under his DJ Pee .Wee moniker, alongside club takeovers hosted by Luke Una and Horse Meat Disco.
True to its roots, the festival will continue its commitment to emerging talent by providing platforms for rising stars such as Emma Rawicz and the Tomorrow’s Warriors Junior Band. Attendees can also access a dedicated wellness area offering yoga sessions, an interactive children's activity zone, the Jazz Lounge educational hub, an on-site Ottolenghi restaurant, and two upgraded Supremium VIP fields. General admission weekend passes, single-day tickets, and local camping packages are officially available via the central Love Supreme digital box office.
