Christopher BarrettOn the back of welcoming nearly 50,000 attendees to East Sussex’s Glynde Place, the Love Supreme Jazz Festival is to be expanded for 2026.
Launched by Ciro Romano in 2013 and promoted by his Neapolitan Music in partnership with Vivendi-owned production company U-Live, the festival was acquired by CTS Eventim last year.
This year’s festival took place 4-6 July with a lineup including Jacob Collier, Maxwell, The Roots and Nile Rodgers & CHIC. Its organisers have announced that the 2026 edition, which will take place from 3-5 July, will for the first time in its 12-year history feature three days of main stage programming, with headline performances added on the Friday.
“Taking Love Supreme to three full days of main stage programming is a real landmark for us and a powerful signifier of how far the festival has come,” said U-Live programming director Barney Dufton. “It reflects not just our growth, but also the incredible appetite our audience has for the music we bring to Glynde Place each year. It’s an exciting new chapter in the Love Supreme story, and we’re already looking forward to making 2026 our most ambitious and memorable edition yet.”
