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:

// 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 West Australian twist – pop-up bars, cocktail mixes, spritz stations, and curated food stalls showcasing fresh local produce and flavours from across the state.
