THE ULTIMATE SOUND OF SUMMER: MOSTLY JAZZ, FUNK & SOUL FESTIVAL 2025

7 hours ago

If you are a music lover, a festival enthusiast or just somebody who can appreciate the sunshine, the mostly Jazz Festival 2025 should definitely be on your radar.

Picture this: you’re sitting on crisp emerald grass, golden rays of the sun flickering across the water in front of you. The cool blue reflection dances in the ripples, and you’re completely immersed in the summer vibes. The warmth of jazz, funk and soul music

smooths over you, the bass pulsing through your body, making you want to dance. Do you want to feel this euphoria?

Well the vibrant Mostly Jazz Festival in Moseley Park, Birmingham may just be your answer. From the 11th-13th July 2025, you can enjoy as much jazz, funk and soul as you desire with the ultimate line up of 2025 including Ezra Collective, Maribou State,

Groove Amanda and a personal favourite Kofi Stone and more.

Maribou State alone, with their most recent album Hallucinating Love is just incredible. Their genre-fluid, combination of soul and electronic music makes the perfect summer playlist. I mean have you seen the album cover? Produced by Ameliastudio the intimate, artwork in itself, is a visual invitation into the world they’ve created for us all to enjoy.

With artists like these, the Mostly Jazz Festival 2025 offers more than just music, and I don’t know about you, but I want to be a part of that.

LATEST FEATURES

DIGITAL COVER 003: LEGZDINA

On a crisp morning in Shoreditch, Legzdina brought the bold energy that defines her music and style. She discussed her debut EP, Celestial Girl and Her Milky Way, a fearless mix of drum’n’bass, sung-rap, and poetic storytelling. The project captures her journey as an artist forging her own path. In conversation, she reflected on the personal stories shaping her music, her community-focused open-mic series Say It Back, and her drive to inspire through art. With ethereal vocals and experimental production, she’s pushing boundaries while eyeing her next milestone - representing Latvia at Eurovision -all while staying true to her belief in individuality and connection.

DIGITAL COVER 002: FLIPTRIX

This album tells a story, and hearing the tales that led to its formation from Fliptrix himself was an honour. We caught up with the charismatic artist shortly before the release of ‘Dragonfly’, to discuss his father, the current state of UK Rap, psychedelics, social media & more.

DIGITAL COVER 001: CLOUD X

In the midst of their planning of this year’s festival, we sat down with Ben Cross and David Dabieh of Cloud X to discuss the business of live music events, the UK government, South London and their future plans, perhaps surmised when Dabieh explained; "One thing about Cloud X is that we didn't have this big plan, we just kept trying to be free".
