The ever-wonderful Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Festival has just announced its third headliner. The highly revered electronic dance duo Maribou State will be joining the other previously revealed headliners Ezra Collective and War plus Goldie, Seun Kuti and Egypt 80, and DJ Craig Charles in the idyllic surroundings of Moseley Park and Pool, Birmingham, England between 11th – 13th July 2025.
In further exciting news for next year’s Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Festival 2025, the Liverpool-based American singer-songwriter Jalen Ngonda, MRCY, the soulful duo of producer Barney Lister and vocalist Kojo Degraft-Johnson, and Somewhere Soul, aka DJ, label A&R, and event programmer Josh Mason-Quinn, whose Somewhere Soul online music discovery platform has over one million followers, have all been added to this ever-expanding line-up.
Other new additions to the festival bill include the classic ’60s/’70s R&B-inspired MT Jones, live disco act Alive By Night, West Midlands-based hip hop artist The New Consistent, songwriter/ producer Jake Parsons’ Speak!, 12-piece Brum jazz/funk act Disco Manifest, and B:Music’s young musical group, B:and Together.
John Fell, Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul’s Manager, said: “After Ezra Collective and War, we’re so pleased to reveal Maribou State as our third Mostly Jazz headliner. With three massive London shows and a UK tour that sold out within a couple of days, there’s huge demand to see the band’s return. And their new album, Hallucinating Love, will undoubtedly be one of the stand-out releases of the forthcoming year.”
Further 2025 line-up announcements, including family activities and the festival’s food and drink offer, will be revealed over the coming months.
