Mercury Prize and Brit Award-winning Ezra Collective will return to Love Supreme Jazz Festival as Friday headliners in 2026, marking ten years since their first performance at the festival. Their 2016 debut set is remembered as a breakthrough moment in their career, and since then, the band has performed at the festival multiple times, including acclaimed sets in 2018 and 2022.

In addition to their headline slot on Friday, July 3rd, Ezra Collective will curate the opening day under the banner Temple Of Joy, handpicking artists who reflect their musical influences and collaborative spirit. Confirmed performers include London Afrobeat collective Kokoroko, double MOBO Award-winning drummer Moses Boyd, UK DJ Luke Una, and Mississippi soul group Annie & The Caldwells.

"Love Supreme has always held a very special place in our hearts. Coming back as main stage headliners feels like a full circle moment for us"

Reflecting on their return, Ezra Collective said:

“Love Supreme has always held a very special place in our hearts. It was one of the first festivals where we played to a large audience, and the energy, joy, and connection with the crowd are unlike anywhere else. Coming back as main stage headliners feels like a full circle moment for us, and we’re honoured to have been asked to bring some of our favourite bands and artists along to perform alongside us that day. We’re going to curate what we’re calling our Temple Of Joy and can’t wait to celebrate with everyone next summer.

Europe’s largest outdoor jazz festival will run from Friday, July 3rd – Sunday, July 5th 2026, featuring three full days of main stage programming and an extensive line-up of international and UK talent. Early Bird tickets are on sale now
