World-renowned jazz guitarist Mike Stern is the headliner of the 43rd annual JAZZFEST KARLOVY VARY 2026 international jazz festival. The festival concerts are dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of trumpeter Miles Davis and saxophonist John Coltrane, legendary jazz musicians who pushed the boundaries of the genre and rank among the most influential and respected figures in the history of jazz and 20th-century music.
The festival concerts, which will take place in September and October, traditionally feature a wide range of musical styles focused on modern jazz and its fusion with other genres. JAZZFEST, organized by Jazzový kruh under the leadership of musician Milan Krajíc, is traditionally held with the support of the City of Karlovy Vary and the Karlovy Vary Region, under the patronage of the Mayor of Karlovy Vary, Ing. Andrea Pfeffer Ferklová, MBA, and the Governor of the Karlovy Vary Region, Mgr. Petr Kubis.
