Ubud Village Jazz Festival

Ubud Village Jazz Festival — Bali’s premier jazz event returns for two days to the lush riverside grounds of Sthala, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel in Ubud. World-class jazz musicians from Indonesia and abroad perform across multiple stages set within a natural amphitheatre carved into the valley — a uniquely atmospheric venue surrounded by jungle on one side and rice terraces on the other.

The festival was founded in 2013 by Indonesian jazz musicians Yuri Mahatma and Anom Darsana, and has grown into one of Southeast Asia’s most respected jazz gatherings. The 2026 lineup features Dattie Do Duo, Dodot Trio, Imelda Rosalin Quintet, Simone Prattico Java Collective, and more international and local acts. Festival-goers enjoy the unique experience of listening to live jazz while seated on picnic mats and beanbags, surrounded by the tropical night air.

Food & amenities: On-site vendors represent Ubud’s best culinary scene, offering everything from traditional Balinese fare to international cuisine. Full bar available. The venue is accessible by scooter or car from central Ubud — follow signs from Jalan Raya Ubud.

What to bring: A hat, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and a light jacket for the evening. Comfortable seating cushions or a picnic mat recommended. Daily passes and two-day tickets available online.
