The Guitar Show returns to Birmingham’s Cranmore Park on 1-2 March 2025, with the country’s largest guitar event set to feature a dedicated Bass Show for the first time.
Alongside gear from industry-leading brands, some of the UK’s finest bass-playing talent including Yolanda Charles (Robbie Williams, Paul Weller, Squeeze) and solo bass pioneer Steve Lawson will grace the show’s Lark Music Live Stage over the weekend.
The expansion of the show means a bigger exhibition area than ever with big names including Yamaha, Ashdown, Sandberg, Orange, Rotosound, Blackstar and Aguilar joining luthier and effects innovators like Patrick James Eggle, Alister Atkin, Darkglass, Balaguer, Rob Williams, and many, many more.
We have been working with Torn & Frayed, the organiser of the upcoming Guitar Show, and are pleased to be able to announce an exclusive offer.
In keeping with one of our strategic aims (namely “bringing the industry together”) we spoke to Torn & Frayed owner Jason Hunt about extending an invitation to MIA members to take the opportunity for a bit of networking;
“I would be more than happy to offer free trade passes for any MIA member that would like to attend. Whilst the Guitar Show will always remain a consumer event, the rising costs of visiting trade shows such as NAMM is becoming prohibitive.
The Guitar Show will never replicate such trade shows, but it will provide you with the opportunity for you to see a wide variety of Manufacturers & Distributors, catch-up with existing contacts and maybe make a few new ones.”
If you would like to attend, please click here to register your details, your trade pass will be available for you at reception.
