See Joe Jackson live in concert—a rare chance to experience one of music’s most adventurous artists up close. Born in England and trained at London’s Royal Academy of Music, Jackson broke out with his 1979 debut Look Sharp!, launching a career defined by fearless creativity and genre-hopping brilliance. From New Wave classics like I’m the Man, and Beat Crazy to the sophisticated pop of Night and Day and Body and Soul, his catalog bridges rock, jazz, and classical influences. Over the decades, Jackson has continued to evolve, releasing acclaimed albums like The Duke, Fast Forward, and Fool. After his recent Sing, You Sinners! tour and the 2023 project What a Racket!, he’s set to return in 2026 with a new album, Hope and Fury. Still dividing his time between New York, Portsmouth, and Berlin, Joe Jackson remains as sharp, witty, and musically daring as ever.
