2026 PIJF Launch Brookfield Place

Brookfield Place, Perth

Perth's Biggest Night of Free Jazz Returns to Brookfield Place

On Saturday 10 October, Perth International Jazz Festival (PIJF) returns to Brookfield Place for a fourth year, taking over the landmark CBD precinct with eight hours of live music, premium eats, drinks and late-night revelry.

From 4pm until midnight, jazz will spill from the Bridge into bars, restaurants, rooftops and intimate corners across the inner-city precinct, with audiences invited to follow the music from venue to venue or simply settle in and see what finds them.

Guests can roam between Bobeche, Bob's Bar, Lupes Cerveceria, Print Hall, Small Print and The Heritage – each offering its own unique atmosphere. Whether you’re reserving a table for dinner, settling into a booth for cocktails, or soaking up the energy on the podium, every corner of Brookfield Place will be alive with character and charm.✨ The Brookfield Place podium will be transformed into an open-air performance feature, creating the heart of the precinct’s celebrations. Expect a high-energy program of live jazz bands and a buzzing social hub complete with pop-up bars, festival lighting, and electric vibes that spill into the night.

It is a festival launch without the traditional festival boundaries: no single stage, no prescribed route and no shortage of surprises.
