September 2026 marks the centennial of John Coltrane’s birth. To honor the enduring legacy of one of jazz’s most transcendent voices, the Branford Marsalis Quartet and Dianne Reeves will release a tribute album which revisits Coltrane’s seminal 1963 collaboration with Johnny Hartman (coming in the Fall of 2026 on Blue Note Records), to be followed by a worldwide tour.

The British Airways ARC is a new purpose-built events venue above the west exhibition hall in Olympia, West London, with a 3800 capacity. It’s located within Olympia’s historic grounds, originally established for events nearly 140 years ago and famous for hosting legendary acts like Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and The Cure. Launched by AEG Presents in partnership with British Airways, it's designed to honour Olympia’s rich legacy while introducing state-of-the-art facilities for contemporary audiences and performers.

Please note that the venue for this show, British Airways ARC, has a strict bag policy. For security reasons, they only allow small bags into the venue, INCLUDING into the cloakroom area. They class a small bag as A4 size or smaller. Large bags such as backpacks, suitcases, travel cases, laptop bags and large tote bags are NOT permitted inside the venue. The venue recommends using a service such as LuggageHero, Stasher or Bounce to find a place in the local area where you can leave larger luggage.

There is a cloakroom at the venue where bags of A4 size or smaller can be stored. However, this is only accessible for customers with stalls standing / stalls seating tickets and there is limited capacity.

One of my favourite vocalists interprets Coltrane’s album with Jonny Harman in her own unique way. Branford will sprinkle his magic on the music at what is certain to be a highlight of this festival.
