Qobuz Partners with Brick Lane Jazz Festival, Celebrating a Thriving Music Scene in the UK
London, April 22, 2025 – Qobuz, the high-quality music streaming and download service, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the 2025 Brick Lane Jazz Festival. Taking place from April 25 to 27, the festival will bring together some of the most exciting emerging and established artists in London’s dynamic underground music scene. Qobuz will support the live event and continue the partnership afterwards with exclusive content.
Qobuz is sponsoring two of the festival’s stages – the Main Stage at Village Underground and Rough Trade East – where performances will be recorded and later released as an exclusive, high-resolution compilation album. Brick Lane Jazz Festival will capture the sets from these stages in high-quality audio, and Qobuz will release the album later this year, bringing the energy and innovation of the 2025 festival to a global audience long after the final notes are played.
“Brick Lane Jazz Festival and Qobuz are a perfect pairing,” said Dan Mackta, Managing Director at Qobuz. “We are happy to support the creativity of these artists and look forward to releasing high-resolution recordings from the festival.”
