GRAMMY-nominated guitar phenom Cory Wong has been announced as the final main stage headliner for San Jose Jazz Summer Fest, taking place August 7–9, 2026 in downtown San Jose.
Wong joins an already stacked lineup featuring Patti LaBelle, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, and Zapp featuring Tuxedo, along with a new wave of artists including Gretchen Parlato, aja monet, Martin Luther McCoy, and more.
A member of Vulfpeck and The Fearless Flyers, Wong is known for his razor-sharp funk grooves and high-energy live shows. His latest album, Lost in the Wonder, continues to build momentum as he sells out venues worldwide. At Summer Fest, Wong hits the Jay Paul Company Main Stage on Sunday, August 9.
San Jose Jazz Summer Fest transforms downtown into a walkable, multi-stage music experience featuring more than 100 performances across eight stages, along with a club crawl, local food, and immersive cultural programming. The festival continues to reflect the diversity and energy of Silicon Valley as the city takes on a major global spotlight in 2026.
Additional lineup highlights include Adi Oasis, The Soul Rebels, Afro-Cuban All Stars, Lakecia Benjamin, and Thee Sinseers, among many others.
Three-day “Early Bird” passes are available through April 30, with single-day tickets on sale May 1. VIP experiences expand in 2026 with added programming across partner hotels, offering premium viewing, exclusive events, and curated experiences throughout the weekend.
