Set to ignite the colder months with rhythm and soul, The Arts Centre Jazz Club returns for its third year. Now an established fixture on Christchurch's cultural calendar, the series has a serious following amongst those in the know. The 2026 season runs for 13 weeks, delivering sizzling jazz every Thursday evening from the depths of winter into the promise of spring. The series showcases a rich variety of jazz styles, from smooth and sultry to bold and electrifying. Set within the Great Hall, Jazz Club is a relaxed evening of live music, drinks, and conversation in an intimate cabaret-style setting. Choose your experience with premium cabaret-style reserved tables or relaxed theatre-style seating to simply sit back and soak in the sound.
Most of last year’s concerts sold out, so consult your diaries, rally your friends, and get booking.
