Rochester International Jazz Festival 2027 Club Passes On Sale At Early-bird Prices

New 5-Day Pass Added — And Anthology Returns as a Club Pass Venue

More music, more discovery, more ways to experience the festival. Club Passes for the 24th Edition Rochester Regional Health Rochester International Jazz Festival, presented by M&T Bank, go on sale today, Oct. 30, at 10 a.m. only at rochesterjazz.com.

Club Passes offer significant savings compared with individual show prices and unlimited access to up to 180 shows across 10 venues featuring jazz artists from around the world.

In response to customer requests, the festival is introducing a 5-Day Pass for 2027, joining the existing 1-, 3-, and 9-day options. The 1—and 3-day passes are valid on any one or three days of the festival, respectively, and patrons do not need to select their dates in advance.

Early-bird prices for 1-, 3-, 5-, and 9-day Club Passes remain unchanged from last year. Early-bird pricing is available Oct. 30 through Dec. 31, 2026:

• 9-Day Pass: $398.52, including all fees (approximately $44 per day)
• 5-Day Pass: $298.71, including all fees
• 3-Day Pass: $214.33, including all fees
• 1-Day Pass: $79.53, including all fees

• 5-Day Pass: $319.29, including all fees
• 3-Day Pass: $234.91, including all fees
• 1-Day Pass: $84.68, including all fees

This year, Club Pass prices will increase only once, on Jan. 1, making early-bird pricing the best opportunity to save.

Anthology, located at 336 East Ave. in Rochester, will return as a Club Pass venue in 2027, presenting two shows nightly throughout the nine-day festival.

“Our audiences love the freedom a Club Pass gives them—to hear a favorite artist, follow a recommendation, or walk into a venue and discover someone extraordinary,” said Marc Iacona, festival producer and executive director. “Adding a 5-Day Pass responds directly to what our customers have asked for. With early-bird prices holding steady and Anthology returning, we’re giving music fans even more ways to enjoy world-class performances at an exceptional value.”

Each Pass gives patrons unlimited access to up to 20 Club Pass shows a day, plus the flexibility to come and go from venues, discover legends and rising stars, and experience the festival their way.

Club Passes offer significant savings compared with individual admission prices of $30 per show, or $35 at Kilbourn Hall. All Club Pass shows feature general admission seating. Passes may be shared or transferred when not in use.

Club Pass venues for the 2027 festival include Anthology, Hatch Recital Hall, Inn on Broadway, Kilbourn Hall, Little Theatre, Max of Eastman Place, Montage Music Hall, Temple Building Theater, The Duke, and the Theater at Innovation Square.

The nine-day 2027 festival runs from June 18 to 26. The full festival lineup, including all Club Pass and free shows, will be announced on March 9, 2027
