PIJF BLOCK PARTY  “where jazz meets the streets”

The Perth International Jazz Festival is turning up the volume for its 2025 program finale with the launch of a brand-new flagship event: PIJF Block Party. Set to transform the Urban Orchard into a vibrant, open-air celebration of jazz and its many modern influences, this multi-headline showcase will close the festival with a bang.

At the heart of the event is a powerhouse lineup led by American funk icons LETTUCE, known for their electrifying live shows and decades of groove-driven brilliance, and ARIA Award-winning pop sensation BUDJERAH, whose soulful vocals and contemporary sound have captured audiences across the world.

The lineup continues with some of Australia’s most dynamic and genre-bending artists:

// FULL LINEUP //

🥬 LETTUCE – American funk icons

// WHAT TO EXPECT // 

Beyond the music, the Urban Orchard will be transformed into a boutique open-air festival precinct. Attendees can expect a community festive vibe with a distinctly West Australian twist – pop-up bars, cocktail mixes, spritz stations, and curated food stalls showcasing fresh local produce and flavours from across the state.

This is not just a concert…it’s an experience! One where jazz meets the streets and celebrates its evolution through funk, soul, pop and hip-hop. The PIJF Block Party is about connection, movement, and discovering the joy of jazz in all its forms in a community, festive environment.
