This festival is made by jazz lovers for jazz lovers, so you can expect some really serious music to grace the stage at Ubud Village Jazz Festival 2023, from the pure, the eclectic and definitely the energetic. 

A diverse and talented lineup from around the world and the archipelago will come together for the two-day event. These include the likes of the renowned and respected Kevin Hays Trio (USA), along with Pere Bujosa Trio (Spain), Henk Kraajeveld Quintet (The Netherlands), MANNA Trio featuring Indonesian bass living legend Mates, Rio Moreno Latin Combo (Indonesia), Amanda Lee (Singapore), SCAT C.A.T (Canada-Indonesia), Wilson Quah (Malaysia-Indonesia), Jeremy Ternoy (France), Yuri Mahatma & Astrid Sulaiman (Indonesia), and the young and gifted pianist Nadine Adriana (Indonesia), Etawa Jazz (Jogjakarta) and many more. 

Whether you know the lineup or not, you can be sure that these are unique jazz musicians at the very top of the game, set to create fabulous performances in a dreamlike Ubud setting. Around the festival grounds, guests will find food and drinks from local culinary businesses, creative market shops and more to explore.
