2025 PIJF Launch

After back-to-back sell-outs, PIJF and Brookfield Place are turning up the volume with an even bigger, bolder, and buzzier Festival Launch in 2025.

13 ACTS, 20 SETS, 10 VENUES… 1 NIGHT ONLY
On Saturday, October 18, Brookfield Place precinct and its premium hospitality venues will once again transform into Perth’s ultimate jazz playground – alive with rhythm, energy, and style.

This year’s festival launch promises to be the most anticipated yet, with 10 incredible venues hosting a dynamic lineup of artists hand-picked by PIJF Festival Director, Dr. Mace Francis.

Guests can roam between Bar Lafayette, Bobeche, Bob's Bar, Lupes Cerveceria, Papi Katsu, Print Hall, Small Print, The Heritage and W Churchill – each offering its own unique atmosphere. Whether you’re reserving a table for dinner, settling into a booth for cocktails, or soaking up the energy on the podium, every corner of Brookfield Place will be alive with character and charm.

New for 2025 – The Brookfield Place podium will be transformed into an open-air performance feature, creating the heart of the precinct’s celebrations. Expect a high-energy program of live jazz bands and a buzzing social hub complete with pop-up bars, festival lighting, and electric vibes that spill into the night.

From 4:00 PM until midnight, Brookfield Place will pulse with the intoxicating rhythm of jazz, from soulful trios and big-boss brass to experimental grooves and late-night jams, each space becoming a portal to the vibrant streets and sounds of New York City.
