When: 11th – 13th July 2025
Where: Moseley Park and Pool, Birmingham, England
With just over six weeks to go, and tickets strictly limited, the consistently wonderful Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Festival today announce their programme for The Woods – set within the urban trees of an idyllic Moseley Park and Pool – and featuring Takeovers from Selextorhood and Deano Ferrino, and DJ T-Bird‘s celebration of 3 Feet High & Rising, the classic debut studio album by the American hip hop group De La Soul.
Mostly Jazz’s second day will also see a series of special walkabout performances by some of the best musicians from the National Youth Jazz Orchestra (NYJO), whose members are the next generation of jazz talent.
Meanwhile, for families, there’s MiniMixer DJ Workshops (Sat, Sun) where future David Guetta’s can learn their trade, and a bound-to-be boisterous 90 minute Mostly Jazz Family Hip Hop Party (Sat) with block rockin’ tunes, bubbles and crafts.
The festival also includes a series of dance workshops suitable for all-ages covering funk, bhangra, swing and flamenco, and the return of the Dead Pixels Gaming Caravan, for those addictive retro games vibes.
John Fell, Mostly Jazz Funk and Soul Festival’s Manager, said: “We have some amazing artists set for our main stages – Ezra Collective, War, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80, Jalen Ngonda and MRCY as well as DJ sets from Groove Armada, Goldie, Craig Charles, Somewhere Soul, Wonder 45 and Sam Redmore. But nestled amongst Moseley Park’s trees, The Woods offers visitors something of a getaway – it’s a little oasis, with it’s own unique energy.”
Having recently issued a ‘Limited Tickets’ warning for the festival, John adds: “Ninety per cent of Weekend Tickets have now sold, and Day Tickets – especially for the Sunday – are running seriously low, so if you’re considering coming, we’d strongly recommend buying now to avoid any disappointment.”
