The iconic Blue Note Jazz Club is set to open its first UK venue in London's West End on September 23, 2026. Located on St Martin’s Lane in Covent Garden, the landmark destination opens on what would have been the 100th birthday of jazz titan John Coltrane. The venue features a 250-capacity main room hosting two nightly performances at 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM, as well as a secondary 100-capacity room, "B-Side," designed to spotlight emerging UK talent.
The Blue Note Jazz Club launch season kicks off with grand opening headline performances from five-time GRAMMY winner Robert Glasper on September 23 and 24, 2026. Glasper, who also serves as creative ambassador for the London location, will return for a further seven residency shows throughout November. The club's design by Legeard Studio pairs custom acoustics and rich blue interiors with elevated international dining and a contemporary cocktail program.
The Blue Note Jazz Club lineup features an eclectic mix of international icons and prominent British acts across jazz, R&B, and hip-hop. Confirmed autumn and winter residencies include Erykah Badu, Jamie Cullum, Yussef Dayes, Nubya Garcia, KOKOROKO, Hak Baker, SHABAKA, and The Brand New Heavies. The venue plans to celebrate both established artists and grassroots musicians while hosting unannounced pop-up performances from global stars.
The Blue Note Jazz Club general ticket sale begins Friday, August 14, 2026, at 10:00 AM BST, preceded by a venue presale on August 13 and a membership presale on August 12. Two membership tiers, including a Founding Membership and a 100-member limit Founders Society, offer fans priority booking access and exclusive hospitality perks.
