Candy Dulfer Live | Jazz & Funk Concert in Fukuoka 2026

Candy Dulfer is a celebrated Dutch saxophonist widely regarded as one of the finest jazz and funk instrumentalists of her generation. She rose to international fame in the early 1990s, earning a Grammy nomination for her debut album 'Saxuality' and collaborating with legends including Prince, Dave Stewart, and Van Morrison. Known for her electrifying stage presence and technically brilliant playing, her live performances blend smooth jazz, funk, and soul into high-energy shows that consistently captivate audiences worldwide. This Fukuoka concert offers a rare opportunity to see a world-class European jazz artist perform live in Japan.

Jazz and funk enthusiasts will be in their element, but Candy Dulfer's accessible, groove-driven sound also appeals to anyone who enjoys live instrumental music with real energy and flair. Her international reputation means this is a genuinely special booking for Fukuoka, attracting both expats and Japanese music lovers with sophisticated tastes. The atmosphere at her shows tends to be warm, celebratory, and musically rich rather than rowdy. Book tickets early as performances by internationally renowned artists of this calibre in mid-sized Japanese cities tend to sell out.
