Oslo Swingjazzfestival 2026

Eight swing jazz concerts featuring some of Norway's foremost jazz musicians. There will be music for both listening and dancing, with breaks between sets and DJs playing after the last concert each night. We will facilitate this with a large dance floor and cafe tables, and inside Sentralen you will find a bar, cafe, and restaurants. Lindy hop courses with Jo Hoffberg.
