Malmö Jazz & Juice 2026
Welcome to Malmö Jazz & Juice 2026 – a festival for all the senses! We combine music, food, and drinks in a one-day festival from lunch until midnight, and we hope you’ll join us and enjoy everything the day has to offer.
The three organizers HAVTORN RECORDS, HOOB RECORDS, and FRUKTSTEREO have joined forces to create something truly special: a one-day festival in Malmö focused on music, food, and drinks. The festival takes place in a unique setting at Fruktstereo (a.k.a. Château Nubbgatan) and in their cidery near Malmö Central Station.
Here, surrounded by bubbling fermentation tanks, fruit presses, and bottling machines, you’ll find a living room filled with culture, good vibes, and gastronomy. Since autumn 2025, Fruktstereo has been running a restaurant in the venue, often paired with a closing concert after dinner. Now we’re taking things a step further and hosting a full day dedicated to music, food, and drinks.
Fruktstereo will provide top-class food and beverages, so make sure to secure a seat for the evening dinner, which has limited availability. Smaller dishes and drinks will be available throughout the day.
The musical program is curated by the well-established labels Havtorn Records and Hoob Records, based in Malmö and Gothenburg respectively. These two musician-run indie labels have a strong catalog of innovative music, primarily within the jazz genre. Between them you’ll find musicians who have toured worldwide, received Grammy and Manifest awards, and released critically acclaimed albums. During the festival, three live concerts will take place featuring different artists from their rosters (see below).
PROGRAM
OPENING HOURS: 12:00 - 00:00
Food and drinks will be available for purchase throughout the entire festival day. There will also be the opportunity to sit down for a longer dinner (three courses) at 18:00 (limited seating, advance booking recommended). After the final concert, we will open the stage for a jam session for anyone who wants to play. A backline will be provided—please bring your own instrument if you play something other than drums, bass, or piano.
12:00 – Doors open
Hang out, mingle, and enjoy the atmosphere.
14:00 – Agnes Persson Trio
Guitarist and composer Agnes Persson, who with her debut album “In Collaboration with Flowers” (Havtorn Records, 2021) was named “Guitarist of the Year” by Lira Music Magazine, opens the festival with her beautifully expressive trio.
In September 2024, Agnes Persson released her second album “Listen Closely”—this time in a trio format. With this newly formed group, Agnes continues to develop her highly distinctive sound. Moving from soft and delicate textures to bold attacks and sonic intensity, the band creates a daring expression rooted in both jazz and free improvisation.
“Even better and more personal than Agnes Persson’s debut album,” writes reviewer Bengt Eriksson in Lira Music Magazine.

16:00 – MUSICMUSICMUSIC + Lindha Kallerdahl
MUSICMUSICMUSIC is a jazz trio that for nearly 20 years has released albums and toured almost the entire world. They have been described as “Swedish jazz’s most garage-like band” and “a small package of rhythmic sharpness.” Without unnecessary reverence for their genre, they have reached audiences far beyond traditional jazz circles.
For this special occasion, they are joined by musician, improviser, and composer Lindha Kallerdahl, who has been active on international jazz and improvised music scenes since the 1990s and has collaborated with many significant artists. As a vocalist, she brings an uncompromising attitude toward musical expression that has inspired an entire generation of young improvisers in Sweden.

18:00 – Dinner
For those who have booked the three-course dinner, it will be served at 18:00 in the main hall. The bar will be open for those who are not attending the dinner.
20:30 – Makross
The Malmö-based band Makross delivers pure musical joy with infectious humor and irresistible energy. Their music weaves together American and Nordic jazz traditions into something swinging, melodic, and playful, while still leaving room for reflection and a touch of Scandinavian melancholy.
This is live music at its best—enjoyed in the company of good friends, with something in your glass and perhaps a few cheerful shouts when the energy peaks!

22:00 – Jam Session
Open jam session for as long as we can keep going! A backline will be available—please bring your own instrument if you play something other than drums, bass, or piano.
