Event Description

Celebrating four decades at the forefront of British jazz, Courtney Pine returns to the stage in 2026 with a powerful retrospective tour. From his landmark 1986 debut Journey to the Urge Within to his Mercury-nominated Modern Day Jazz Stories, Pine has consistently redefined what it means to be a jazz artist in the UK. Blending the spiritual legacy of jazz with the pulse of reggae, soul, hip-hop and drum & bass, his music tells the very personal story of an artist, a generation and a nation finding its voice through sound.

This special live show brings together key moments from Pine’s remarkable catalogue, and previously unreleased work reimagined with the fire and freedom that have always made his live performances legendary.

Both a celebration and a reflection, this very special set honours the resilience, creativity and community that shaped Pine’s journey from London streets to international stages. Expect a night of deep grooves, soaring saxophone, and the unmistakable energy of an artist still pushing jazz forward while staying true to his roots.
