Ronnie Scott’s is taking live music out of the jazz club and onto Frith Street for a completely free afternoon. Two outdoor stages will host jazz, soul, R&B, hip hop and gospel, with DJs and family-friendly entertainment between the live sets.

Who is playing?

The 2026 line-up includes Grammy-winning duo Blue Lab Beats, Daniel Casimir Big Band, Shae Universe, Guvna B, Summer Pearl, Ronnie Scott’s Gospel Choir, NEONE the Wonderer, GRAMN., Jackson Mathod and Marlon the Pannist.

The two-stage format means music runs across much of the afternoon. Arrive early if there is a particular artist you want to see, as central Soho is likely to become busy.

Do you need to book?

Entry is free and you can turn up without a ticket. Ronnie Scott’s recommends registering for a free ticket if you want event updates and announcements. Registration does not reserve a viewing spot on the street.

Make a cheap day of it

Frith Street is close to Chinatown, Soho Square and the National Gallery. Bring water and eat before arriving if you want to avoid the busiest central London prices. Outdoor bars will be available, but buying a drink is optional.

Useful questions
