The We Jazz Record Shop was founded in November 2019 and in April 2023, it morphed into the new edition of Helsinki’s legendary Digelius Music (founded in 1971). During the festival, the shop will remain open during regular hours (Mon-Fri 1pm–7pm, Sat 12noon–4pm) and in addition, many of the events will feature a pop up shop. Most of the shop’s catalog is also available worldwide via Discogs.
G Livelab is the best club for music listening in Helsinki. The giant Genelec speakers make for the outstanding sound, but in the end it’s all down to the venue’s unique atmosphere. This is one of those places where the music has the opportunity to shine bright beyond all expectations.
Harju 8 is a comfy bistro in the Kallio district. If you lunch here, you might well bump into some We Jazz people on a normal day, but there’s nothing normal about the night of 27 Nov at Harju 8, as We Jazz Festival takes over the space.

Kalliosali is a newcomer on the Helsinki venue map and we’re delighted to welcome the new space as part of We Jazz this year. To be honest, we don’t know so much about this space beforehand. Isn’t it nice to discover a new place while checking out some quality music?
Korjaamo
Töölönkatu 51 B
Helsinki
Korjaamo is a Helsinki classic through and through. There’s a bunch of good music rooms in this one, and We Jazz has the privilege to use of all of them in a single event. WOW. Vaunusali, Kulmasali, Vintti… It’s all happening. There’s even stuff to be announced later at the cinema.
This is where it all started, back in 2009 with a club night called “We Jazz”.
