Borneo Jazz Festival returns to Miri on 4–5 December 2026 for its 20th edition, bringing together an exciting mix of international, regional and Malaysian jazz talents at Pullman Miri Waterfront.

The festival features evening concerts by performers from across the world, alongside daytime experiences that celebrate music, culture and creativity. Beyond the main concert, visitors can also enjoy the free-entry Borneo Jazz Festival Village, featuring food and beverage offerings, arts and crafts, retail booths, live performances and the Borneo Pavilion, creating a lively festival atmosphere in the heart of Miri.

The theme “Beyond Jazz” reflects the festival’s evolution beyond the concert stage.

Borneo Jazz 2026 brings together music, culture, community and destination, combining the timeless appeal of jazz with the warmth and character of Borneo. Through the Festival Village, Borneo Pavilion and wider activities around Miri Waterfront, the festival creates opportunities for local businesses, artisans, performers and the tourism ecosystem to be part of the experience.

Set in the heart of Miri, Beyond Jazz also encourages visitors to experience more of the city and northern Sarawak, making the festival not just a celebration of music, but a celebration of people, place and Bornean hospitality.
