Perfectly blending funk, jazz and a strongly rock energy, Vulfpeck establishes itself as one of the most electrifying musical phenomena on the current scene. In 2024, they fired Jazz à Vienne creating an extraordinary enthusiasm in the audience with their bass riffs and their retro funky keyboards. Their comeback in 2026 promises a virtuoso and festive musical whirling, staying true to their identity. Famous for shaking up codes, they made an impression from 2014 with Sleepify, an entirely silent album imagined to make the most of streaming platforms. Free and uninhibited, Vulfpeck’s eight members, including the charismatic guitarist Cory Wong, sell out by respecting only one rule: a ruthless groove. Get ready: the live experience that Vulfpeck offers is energising, exhilarating, creative and unique.

Line-up :

• Jack Stratton (vocals, guitar, keyboards, drums)
• Theo Katzman (vocals, guitar, drums)
• Woody Goss (keyboards)
• Joe Dart (bass)
• Cory Wong (guitar)
• Antwaun Stanley (vocals)
• Joey Dosik (vocals, saxophone, keyboards)
• Jacob Jeffries (vocals, keyboards)

This one-of-a-kind band was established thanks to an idea of Jack Stratton, the original leader of the American band called Vulfpeck: three guitars taking centre stage on stands and a drum kit that would be used each night by unusual personalities dressed like combat pilots.  Eight years after its creation, this ensemble entirely dedicated to groove gained an unrivalled reputation. First thanks to two guitar players who are opposed in every way but complement each other: on one hand, the prodigy of the rhythmic funk Cory Wong, key member of Vulfpeck, and the other one, Mark Lettieri, leader of the band Snarky Puppy whose baritone guitar ranges between high-flying riffs and solos. Then, Joe Dart joined them: this new bass hero emerged with Vulfpeck as the most recognisable and appealing personality in his particular field. At the heart of the action, the drummer Nate Smith, mastering funk, rock, jazz and electro, propels this virtuoso quartet to stardom in the domain of modern instrumental music. You will not forget this rare scenic experience.

Line-up :

• Cory Wong (guitar)
• Mark Lettieri (guitar)

On stage, Ludivine Issambourg celebrates jazz and funk, the body and the soul. Her music is an invitation to dance and to try to resist it would be an unforgivable mistake. Indeed, those afrobeat sounds, those covers of Gil Scott-Heron and, of course, this radiant flute imbued with a delightful spirit offer a fascinating result. With Above The Laws, her last album, Ludivine Issambourg passed again a milestone, honouring the heritage of her peers while inventing a bright present and future. Tours all around the world, several collaborations, including the legendary Brian Jackson: she grows her already great experience on stage in a more generous way than ever before.

Line-up :

• Ludivine Issambourg (flute)
• Wolfgang Valbrun (vocals)
• Sylvain Fetis (saxophones)
• Vincent Aubert (trombone)
• Nicolas Derand (keyboards)
• Swaéli Mbappé (bass)
• Yoann Schmidt (drums)

Souleance is a duo of beatmakers: Pierre Fulgeance, the producer of the label Musique Large, and Alexis Soulist, the leader of Parisian nights What The Funk. The goal: reinventing the dance floor with style, but above all with funk, jazz, soul and this cool instinct making those nights memorable. Its last album Kebab Discothèque dives into an imaginary Istanbul, with Turkish influences mixed with groovy psychedelic disco. Imagined for hedonists, its music devours meze as much as life. More importantly, it is at its best during concerts, between clever samples and instrumental quality. A temple of improvisation and freedom, Jazz à Vienne 2026 could not have dreamt of anything better: the real, open and sensory party bides its time.

Line-up :

• Soulist (turntables)
• Fulgeance (beatmaker)

Rezzo 2025 laureate, ubaq will splendidly launch the All Night party The band is composed of three young friends. This encounter gave birth to the alchemy of a living poetic jazz in which silences are welcomed. With a guitar, a bass, drums but no keyboard, they open up a horizon of ethereal melodies and dreamy harmonies. To record their first EP, they take refuge in mountains, near Mediterranean Sea. Embodying a new generation of French jazz, ubaq surprises with its sense of musicality. Its mixed influences of Alfa Mist, Yussef Dayes or Pat Metheny outlines an already strong identity. Their new album will be released at the end of 2026. But we are especially looking forward to discovering their complicity and their taste for dreams on stage, which promise a soft and luminous trance.

Line-up :

• Lucas Schemidt (guitar)
• Antoine Carletto (bass, synthesizer)
• Antoine Saussol (drums, synthesizer)
