The UK’s biggest guitar event, The Guitar Show will return to New Bingley Hall in Birmingham between 25th-26th February 2017 with a larger line-up of brands and more space than ever.
The event expands into a new acoustic area for its third year, allowing acoustic players the chance to try some of the world’s greatest acoustic instruments in suitably quiet surroundings.
The rock’n’roll elements of the show remain very much intact though, with exhibitors including Laney – which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2017 – Marshall, Fender, PRS Guitars, Yamaha, Line6, Roland, Blackstar, Orange, Lag, Diezel, Vigier and Dean among the brands set to appear.
On the Live Stage, Guitar Magazine editor Chris Vinnicombe is to present a series of Meet Your Maker interview and Q&A sessions over the weekend involving luminaries of the industry from the likes of Orange, Bare Knuckle Pickups, Patrick James Eggle and Thorpy FX.
Also on the Live Stage, Brit rock four-piece Joan Ov Arc will also be appearing in support of their latest Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, Pixies)-produced album ‘Ride Of Your Life’. A complete Live Stage line-up will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Tickets are priced at £12.50 (adults) and £7 (under 16s) in advance (£15 adult and £10 under 16s on the door) and are available from www.theguitarshow.co.uk
