The 2025 NAMM Show will span five days, with three days of exhibitsThe NAMM Show will return to the Anaheim Convention Center in January 2025, and for the first time ever, will run for five days straight, with three days of exhibits.
Since Covid, many have speculated on the future of the NAMM Show, which has seen a reduced number of exhibitors in recent years, with many of the big names including Fender, Gibson and PRS opting out.

But next year’s show offers promise that NAMM may be returning to its former glory. Running between 21 and 25 January, the 2025 NAMM Show will see events beginning on the 21st, and exhibits beginning on the 23rd, with “nonstop energy” offered through the 25th
“The NAMM Show continues to evolve based on our members’ needs, and we have heard loud and clear that we need more opportunities to network and extend our robust education offerings, while also focusing on the core exhibit hours and buying power that are the cornerstone of the week” says John Mlynczak, president and CEO of NAMM.
“The 2025 NAMM Show will kick off five days and nights with a schedule that ensures each community and attendee can have the personalised experience they need to be successful in their business and profession.”
A number of brands have already confirmed they are attending the 2025 NAMM Show, though it’s unclear yet whether they’ll all be exhibiting. They include Avid, Allen & Heath, Native Instruments, Pioneer DJ, Solid State Logic, Sony, Waves and more.
We asked if the NAMM Show would thrive or barely survive following this year’s event. While there were some big announcements, there were also some notable absentees: Universal Audio didn’t return with an extravagant space-themed spectacle like in 2020; Moog didn’t have a huge presence, and neither did Focusrite, Sequential, Oberheim or Arturia.
But with five days of events across the 2025 NAMM Show, does that mean its set to thrive once more?
