Ubud Village Jazz Festival 2026

Who should cross for this

Jazz listeners, culture travelers, and Bali visitors who want an Ubud weekend defined by music rather than another temple checklist.

A compact Bali jazz meeting point that staged Indonesian stars beside international guests—useful for Pacific travelers who treat Ubud as a listening destination, not only a day trip from the south coast.

Suggested trip length: 3–4 nights in Ubud for both evenings plus recovery; 2 nights if you already hold a south-Bali base and accept the evening drive

Lineup names worth remembering

Published names included H ZETTRIO (Japan), WATCHDOG (France), Imelda Rosalin Quintet, Salamander Big Band, Straight & Stretch with Dian Pratiwi and Glen Wee Masahiko Kitahara, and collaborative bills such as Jadi Peperzak Quartet and Pong Nakornchai Ensemble. Future visitors should wait for the next edition’s program pages rather than assuming the same bill returns.

Tickets after early bird

Early Bird Phase III closed after 30 June 2026. Secondary listings sat around IDR 875,000 per day and IDR 1,250,000 for both nights—confirm live prices and refund rules when the next edition opens. Gates typically open mid-afternoon into late evening; arrive early for preferred sightlines at an intimate riverside venue.

Make Ubud the base

Two late jazz nights reward sleeping in Ubud. Pair one festival evening with ordinary rice-terrace or museum daytime, then protect the second night rather than stacking every Ubud attraction into the same calendar. DPS arrivals need a buffer before Friday’s first set if flying same-day from overseas.
