Bandung welcomes the return of The Papandayan Jazz Fest 2025 on 4–5 October at The Papandayan Hotel, marking ten years of musical and cultural celebration. This year’s theme, “A Culture Resonance”, elevates jazz festival Indonesia beyond performance, positioning it as a universal language that bridges heritage, lifestyle, and community.
Since its inception in 2015, TPJF has become a cornerstone of Indonesia’s cultural calendar. This year, its legacy is honored by Museum Rekor Dunia Indonesia (MURI), recognizing The Papandayan as the only hotel in the country to host a jazz festival annually for a full decade.
TPJF 2025 unfolds across eight curated stages, from the grandeur of Suagi Grand Ballroom to the lush ambiance of Tropical Garden and Pool Deck. The lineup blends mainstream appeal with jazz sophistication: Afgan, HIVI!, Reality Club, and Ziva Magnolya perform alongside Barry Likumahuwa & The Rhythm Service feat. Trie Utami, Dwiki Dharmawan feat. Rimar Callista, and The Sister, featuring Dewi Lestari, Arina, and Imelda Rosalin. International presence arrives with Kinematics from Japan, adding a cosmopolitan note to the festivities.
Beyond the stage, TPJF offers cultural depth through Tribute to Legendary Musicians, honoring Utha Likumahuwa, and the TPJF Lifetime Achievement Award, posthumously awarded to Harie Roesli. The Beyond the Notes masterclass series invites emerging talents to refine their craft.
A highlight of the festival, Pasar Jazz, transforms the venue into a vibrant cultural marketplace, an open-access space where music, art, and gastronomy converge. With curated tenants and a welcoming atmosphere, it invites the public to experience the festival’s spirit without a concert ticket.
TPJF 2025 tickets are available in Silver, Gold, and Platinum Passes, starting at Rp250.000. Secure your access through the official website: www.tpjazzfest.com.
