PATTAYA, Thailand – Pattaya Beach will become a spectacular open-air concert venue on November 6–7, with international saxophone star Kenny G headlining the 2026 Pattaya International Jazz Festival. Starting at 5pm each evening, the free two-night event will bring together world-class music, stunning seaside sunsets and the vibrant atmosphere of Pattaya Beach. Beach Road will remain open, with no road closures planned, allowing motorists and visitors to move around the area as usual.
Organized by Pattaya City and the Chonburi Provincial Administrative Organization under the theme Eco Jazz, the festival will feature internationally recognised musicians and leading Thai artists.

The programme blends smooth jazz, soulful vocals, contemporary sounds and Thai musical influences, offering something for music lovers of different generations.
As the sun sets over the Gulf of Thailand, the combination of live jazz, sea breezes and the beachfront atmosphere promises two memorable evenings. The Eco Jazz theme also reflects an emphasis on environmental awareness, adding another dimension to the festival experience.
