NAMM 2026

I have never been to NAMM but follow some of it online every year. Seems like ever since COVID hit that NAMM hasn't been as great as it used to be.
 
I have attended the last two years, so I don't have any pre-covid reference, but I have always been really impressed. It is like spending 3 days in the worlds largest and loudest music store lol.
 
NAMM is cool. Have been a few times, last in 2018.

Nope on the Stairway/Smoke riffs. Lots of people. Regular shows going on in the two main hotels and in the space between the two in front of the Anaheim convention center. Pretty common to see stars wandering the halls - in prior years I've seen Stevie Wonder, Steve Morse, Eric Johnson, Greg Koch, Eric Gales, Orianthi, George Lynch, and many others playing, speaking, checking out stuff, etc.

I think Thursday/Friday are the best days; Saturday can become overwhelming with the crowds and just general fatigue.

OP should know that, at least in the past, Fractal does not have a booth but may have units placed with other exhibitors. @Admin M@ could comment more.

I also have seen a ton of famous people in the past, but I usually don't bother them too much.
 
Anyone from the forum going?. I'll be there this year...I went to the 2016 and this definetly looks much smaller. Guitar wise Fender, Gibson, PRS, Kiesel not going...Other major brands will be there; Ibanez, ESP, Martin and so on...
