Discover the Devonport Jazz paranaple pass – ON SALE FROM 12 NOON, MONDAY 11 MAY
With 32 events across 19 venues and a rich mix of ticketed and free experiences, Devonport Jazz invites you to explore the city while it’s truly in full swing. At the heart of it all is the paranaple arts centre precinct – a vibrant hub of music, conversation and connection where the festival energy is at its most concentrated.
If you love settling into the rhythm of a festival without constantly checking your map (or your watch), the paranaple pass is the ultimate way to experience Devonport Jazz.
What is the paranaple pass?
For just $150, the paranaple pass gives you access to nine hand‑picked ticketed events, all hosted within the paranaple precinct over four big days of the festival. It’s a saving of $55 on the full ticket value of $205 – and even better, everything is right where you want it to be.
No venue hopping across town, no tough program choices – just great music, expert musicians, and the buzz that comes from spending your festival days and nights immersed in one creative precinct.
Pass numbers are limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
