Why You Should Visit

A touring jazz series run jointly by the cultural halls of four cities in southern Osaka. The 2026 edition opened in Tondabayashi on August 29, moved through Habikino and Fujiidera, and closes with the Kawachinagano stage on October 3. This final show is a "Jazz Kodan": storyteller Tamada Gyokushusai IV narrates the film about Benny Goodman's early years while The Global Jazz Orchestra, a Kansai big band, plays live. "Sing, Sing, Sing" is the theme piece shared by every show this year. Advance tickets are 2,500 yen, students aged 25 and under get in free with ID, and the indoor hall is a short walk from Kawachinagano Station.

FAQ

Are tickets sold at the door?

Yes, door tickets are 3,000 yen. Advance tickets are 2,500 yen, so buying ahead at the Lovely Hall counter or a ticket agency is cheaper.

Is it really free for students?

Students aged 25 and under get in free, but only if you show a valid student ID at the venue on the day.

Can I bring children?

Children under 6 are not admitted. Children 6 and over need a ticket; seating is unreserved.

Can I drive there?

There are two lots (A and C) with 129 spaces in total. Because space is limited, the hall recommends public transport; it is about a 7-minute walk from Kawachinagano Station.
