Culture & DesignDates confirmedSthala Ubud Bali, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Ubud Village Jazz Festival returns Friday–Saturday, August 7–8, 2026, for its 13th edition at Sthala Ubud Bali, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. Soft-claim PT Ubud Vista Jafesindo as organiser and Megatix as the ticket path. Soft-claim about fifteen performances and roughly one hundred musicians across three stages over two evenings. The official site already lists a 2026 lineup that mixes Indonesian acts with guests from Japan, France, Thailand, Vietnam, the Netherlands, and beyond—enough to plan the trip without waiting for a surprise drop.

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 soft-claims 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 soft-claims worth knowing

Soft-claim published names including 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. Soft-claim set times and stage maps on the official program pages closer to August—buy for the weekend you can attend.

Tickets after early bird

Soft-claim Early Bird Phase III as closed after 30 June 2026. Soft-claim current single-day and two-day products on Megatix, with secondary listings around IDR 875,000 per day and IDR 1,250,000 for both nights—confirm live prices and refund rules. Soft-claim gates opening 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. Soft-claim pairing 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. Soft-claim DPS arrivals with a buffer before Friday’s first set if you are flying same-day from overseas.
