With tickets now officially limited, Birmingham’s Mostly Jazz Funk and Soul Festival (Friday 10 to Sunday 12 July 2026) has revealed their enticing food line-up.
On the menu are more than a dozen of the very best independent food producers and street food names from the West Midlands (and further afield), who will be ensuring festival-goers’ appetites are satisfied with tantilising tastes from across the world.
In attendance for the full run of the festival are authentic Southeast Asian food specialist Hawker Dan (aka Dan Lee, winner of MasterChef: The Professionals 2021); Stirchley foodie scene mainstays Cleopatra’s Kitchen, serving ‘a taste of the Middle East’; US style burger champions OPM: Original Patty Men; purveyors of classic Italian pizza Nonna’s Pizzeria; SBCC: South Birmingham Curry Club, with their crowd-pleasing curries and tikka naans; authentic Jamaican pan jerk specialists Jerk Centre Street Food; 2022’s Street Food Trader Of The Year, and king of the hot dog, Fat Snags; Harborne’s Deathrow Sandwiches, bringing edge-to-edge packed premium sarnies; Richie’s Shrimps, with their legendary fried shrimps, wings ‘and other tings’; Disco Fries, famed for their hand-cut fries stacked with delicious topping combos; ‘handmade pies and sides’ experts Pietanic; and Yardbirds, with their signature crispy fried chicken.
Carnival Coffee and Crepes, and cool artisan ice cream kings Shepherds Ice Cream, are also on-site, while Alcester’s Hogan’s Cider return and Stirchley’s independent brewery Attic debut as Official Drinks Partner – serving an award-winning range including their popular flagship Intuition pale ale, along with Pilsner and Helles lagers.
John Fell, Mostly Jazz Funk and Soul Festival Manager, said: “Birmingham’s street food scene – like its music scene – is one of the best and most varied in the UK, so we’re really excited to have our food line-up finally out there. Look out for some firm foodie favourites as well as some amazing new faces.”

ABOUT MOSTLY JAZZ FUNK AND SOUL FESTIVAL
Debuting in 2010, Mostly Jazz Funk and Soul Festival is a diverse, vibrant festival, celebrating ground-breaking, innovative UK music alongside international trailblazers. Held in Moseley Park, a stunning 11-acre woodland glade in the heart of Moseley Village, the festival is just two miles from the centre of Birmingham, yet is a world away from city life. With sloping grounds, creating a natural amphitheatre in front of the beautiful lake, it’s the perfect setting for a festival. Each year Mostly Jazz Funk and Soul brings incredible artists, workshops, arts, crafts, and a selection of Birmingham’s most loved street food and drinks vendors to Moseley, for one epic party weekend.
Previous headliners include Ezra Collective, Maribou State, Chic feat. Nile Rodgers, Public Enemy, Gregory Porter, Chaka Khan, De La Soul, Bonobo, The Specials, The Wailers, Goldie, Fat Freddy’s Drop, KC and The Sunshine Band, Kool and The Gang, The Jacksons, Yussef Dayes, The Blackbyrds, and Leftfield.
