Lineup announcement coming soon
The first round of artists for the 2026 festival is being confirmed now. We will post the names here and on social media as soon as the contracts are signed. Past festivals have announced the headliners in late spring, with the full schedule following in early summer. If you want to be first to know, follow the festival accounts.
Tickets on sale date to be announced
Single night tickets and festival passes will go on sale closer to the summer. Prices and on-sale dates will be posted on the tickets page. The pass is usually the better deal if you are planning to come to more than a couple of nights. Passes are limited and they do sell out.
Volunteer sign-up opens in the spring
Every year the festival runs on a small crew of volunteers. If you have been thinking about getting involved, now is a good time to start planning. No experience needed. Shifts are four to five hours and you get a shirt, a pass and food during your shift. Head to the volunteers page for the full picture.
Looking back at last year
The 2025 festival wrapped with a full tent on the final night and a late night jam that ran past two in the morning. Thanks to everyone who came out, to the artists who gave it everything, and to the volunteers who made it all work. Photos from the weekend are up on the festival Instagram.
Sponsor and partner enquiries welcome
If your business or organization is interested in supporting the festival, we would like to hear from you. Sponsorship can take a few forms, from title level support to helping with a specific series or a single night. Get in touch through the contact page and we can talk about what makes sense.
About the festival
The TD PEI Jazz & Blues Festival has been running in Charlottetown for more than two decades. It began as a small weekend event and grew into one of the region's most anticipated music festivals. The format has stayed the same. Bring great players to a handful of rooms in the downtown core, keep tickets affordable, and let the music do the rest.
