The Complete List of Performances, Signings and Shows at The 2018 NAMM Show!
NAMM is right around the corner! The world’s leading expo for new musical instrument gear kicks off this Thursday, January 25th and runs through Sunday, January 28th at its usual home at the convention center in Anaheim, CA, literally right across the street from Disneyland.
Are you ready to be assaulted from all angles by the sound of 100 Guitar Centers blaring at once? Are you craving that deep achy feeling in your entire body after four continuous eight-hour days of being on your feet? How about the refreshing glow of the overhead fluorescent lights? Cool, neither are we! But if you’ve gotta be at NAMM for one reason or another you may as well entertain yourself with some artist performances and signings when you can, so here’s a comprehensive list — compiled by Gear Gods — of everything that’s been announced so far.
We will keep updating this list as more performances, signings and shows are announced.
