The Guitar Show and The Bass Show celebrated its tenth anniversary in style with a completely sold-out event at Cranmore Park in Solihull.

Over the last decade, the show has built a reputation as the UK’s biggest and best guitar gathering and this year saw no less than 145 exhibitors across the electric, acoustic and bass halls. From international brands to the UK’s finest independent builders, the show delivered an unprecedented line-up of the world’s most exciting instruments, backline and accessories.

The Live Stage was also busier than ever, with standing-room only slots from the likes of Chris Childs (Thunder/Paul Young) Yamaha’s Paul Hindmarsh and perennially-popular YouTubers Danny Sapko and Dagan Wilkin.

Show organiser Jason Hunt said, “I was blown away by the level of support for show this year. In three decades of running events it’s the first time I’ve ever completely sold out in advance, so I’m delighted that we’re delivering an event that’s loved by so many visitors and exhibitors at this point. The feedback that I’ve had is that it still felt like a real community gathering, which is hugely important to me – despite the increase in size I think it retains a really friendly, familiar feel. And whatever happens over the coming years that remains the priority of the show.

“So, a big thank you to all the exhibitors that have supported the show and the visitors that join us each year for what is a real celebration of this amazing industry. I look forward to welcoming everyone back in 2027.”
