London’s live-jazz scene is thriving in 2026 with new venues, major festival residencies, and widespread jazz events across the city.
Now we finally know when the venue will open and its opening lineup. Jazz-heads, mark your calendars for Friday February 6, which is when Upstairs At Ronnie's will open with two events. The first slot (5pm-8.45pm) will be occupied by soul and jazz singer Dana Masters, with the 'late late show' (11.15pm onward) set to be from Cuban band Viva Cuba.
The intimate spot, Upstairs at Ronnie's, will open on the first floor of Ronnie Scott's in Soho. It will return in February 2026 as a brand-new club with a complete makeover. Rebuilt as a purpose-designed, intimate auditorium, the new venue will have a sophisticated interior with plush reds, greens, golds and dark wood, enhanced acoustics, high-spec Yamaha and D&B Audio sound and lighting systems, an upgraded stage, and a Yamaha S3X Grand Piano.
