Diplomat Renews Bahrain Jazz Fest Partnership for 2026

The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa has renewed its partnership with Bahrain Jazz Fest as the popular event celebrates its landmark 10th edition.

The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa has announced the renewal of its partnership with the BNP Paribas Bahrain Jazz Fest, returning as the Official Hotel Partner for the second consecutive year as the festival celebrates its milestone 10th edition.

The partnership was officially renewed during a signing ceremony, reaffirming the hotel’s commitment to supporting Bahrain’s growing cultural and entertainment landscape while enhancing the Kingdom’s appeal as a destination for international events and cultural tourism.

Organised by Clockwork, the BNP Paribas Bahrain Jazz Fest has become a prominent fixture on Bahrain’s cultural calendar, bringing together internationally acclaimed and local musicians for a celebration of music, creativity and community.

As the Official Hotel Partner, The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa will extend its signature hospitality to visiting international artists, providing accommodation and hospitality experiences throughout the festival.

To further enhance the festival experience and attract visitors to the Kingdom, the hotel will introduce an exclusive two-night, three-day Bahrain Jazz Fest travel package. This will include return airport transfers, two nights’ accommodation, daily breakfast, festival access and a half-day guided walking tour with transport, a licensed English-speaking guide and refreshments.

The package includes all applicable taxes and service charges, offering visitors an opportunity to experience Bahrain’s vibrant music scene alongside its rich cultural heritage.

Extending the celebrations beyond the main festival, the hotel will also participate in the Yalla Jazz programme, taking place across Bahrain throughout November. As part of these celebrations, the hotel’s signature Asian dining destination, BO.SABI, will host The Funky Jazz Brunch on November 13, 2026, combining a vibrant dining experience with lively jazz entertainment.

The hotel will also contribute to the main festival at the Royal Golf Club on December 4, 2026, offering food and beverages from one of its dining outlets and bringing a taste of The Diplomat’s culinary experiences to festivalgoers.

Commenting on the renewed partnership, Petr Dubsky, General Manager of The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa, said: "We are happy to continue as Official Hotel Partner for a second year. Our role includes welcoming the artists, but we also want festival visitors to enjoy their time in Bahrain beyond the performances. The travel package and Funky Jazz Brunch give guests different ways to experience the festival and the Kingdom, and we look forward to further developing this partnership with Clockwork."

The Diplomat helps us welcome international musicians and offers visitors another way to discover Bahrain. We share an interest in building cultural events that people can look forward to year after year, and are pleased to continue working with their team."

Since its inception in 2017, Bahrain Jazz Fest has continued to celebrate musical diversity by bringing together international and Bahraini talent through live performances and community engagement initiatives.

Through its continued partnership with the festival, The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa reinforces its commitment to promoting Bahrain as a cultural and tourism destination while creating experiences that bring together hospitality, music and entertainment.

The festival’s 10th anniversary celebrations will feature a series of Yalla Jazz events throughout November, culminating in the main festival at the Royal Golf Club on December 4, 2026.
