My friends! I am unspeakably excited to invite you all – once again – to the HIDEAWAY RETREAT!
I had a feeling last summer, before our inaugural year began, that we were in for something special altogether. What I had NOT anticipated fully was just how life-changing those four days would end up being for me personally. What began as an experiment became a fully fledged community… a living, breathing organism that moved me in ways I’m still processing. The conversations that spilled into the night, the jams that nobody planned, the moments of connection…
My friends! I am unspeakably excited to invite you all – once again – to the HIDEAWAY RETREAT!
I had a feeling last summer, before our inaugural year began, that we were in for something special altogether. What I had NOT anticipated fully was just how life-changing those four days would end up being for me personally. What began as an experiment became a fully fledged community… a living, breathing organism that moved me in ways I’m still processing. The conversations that spilled into the night, the jams that nobody planned, the moments of connection that happened between strangers who spoke the same life-language without knowing it… ’twas special beyond words. My first question on leaving was “WHEN CAN WE DO THIS AGAIN?”.
So here we are, at the dawn of our second year! This time, we’re bringing it to Italy. In gorgeous August, between 8th-12th, 2026, in amongst a stunning 600-acre estate in the hills of Tuscany, we shall meet once again for a joyous few days of community, creativity and connection.
Whoever you are – old or young – singer, instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, or simply open-hearted music lover – you are incredibly welcome. The sessions I’m curating alongside my own will hold a beautifully broad scope of wisdom and exploration from some of the most inspiring and deep-reaching creative human beings I know. This year’s faculty is truly out of this world, and I cannot wait to introduce you to them.
Music is the closest thing I know to magic – and what a joy it will be, alongside all of you, to dive deeper into the language of it in such an enchanted place as this.
I’ll see you in Italy.
A presto!
Love
Jacob
Jacob Collier’s Hideaway is a 4-day event for musicians and music lovers of all ages, levels, interests, and tastes to explore the creative process and the art of making music. This year, it takes place from August 8th to 12th 2026, on the stunning 600-acre Il Ciocco estate in the hills of Tuscany, Italy.
Each day is filled with masterclasses, workshops, and small breakout sessions curated by Jacob and a handpicked group of world-class musicians known as the Faculty, covering everything from harmony and improvisation to songwriting, production, and performance. Evenings bring live concerts and spontaneous musical collaborations, giving you the chance to play, create, connect, or just soak it all in.
You don’t need to be a professional musician to be here. Sessions are designed for all levels, from curious beginners to experienced players. Whether you love to play, listen, or learn – everyone shares a love of music and the curiosity to go deeper. Join fellow music lovers of all ages (participants 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult) for a joy-driven, one-of-a-kind musical retreat you won’t want to miss.
All activities at Hideaway will be conducted in English.
Jacob Collier’s Hideaway will begin August 8th around 1 PM and concludes on August 12th after breakfast.
