The music industry descended on Anaheim, California, last week for the 2026 NAMM Show, and the five-day spectacle delivered everything gear-heads and industry professionals could hope for. Held at the Anaheim Convention Center, the National Association of Music Merchants celebrated its 125th anniversary by bringing together over 1,800 exhibitors to showcase the latest innovations in musical instruments, pro audio, and recording technology.
NAMM is the world’s largest music products trade show, serving as the annual gathering place where manufacturers, retailers, artists, educators, and music industry professionals converge to unveil groundbreaking products, forge business relationships, and set the tone for the year ahead. The show floor buzzed with major announcements from industry heavyweights, including Fender, Gibson, Yamaha, Martin, Neural DSP, and countless others.
