It’s on again! The Australian Music Association and Australian Musician are pleased to announce that the Melbourne Guitar Show will return to the Caulfield Racecourse on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th August 2016. The 2015 Melbourne Guitar Show was the biggest music event in Australia for the week it was staged, with almost 5,000 people flooding through the gates. Over 50 exhibitors, representing major suppliers, retailers, local guitar makers and vintage dealers were in attendance. The crowd lapped it up and took full advantage of the exclusive guitar show specials that were on offer. If they weren’t trying or buying guitars, attendees could enjoy performances from over 60 musicians on 2 main stages, as well as learn from the many educational sessions which were presented. The 2015 show featured the cream of the crop of local guitar-based talent including: Jeff Lang, Lloyd Spiegel, King of the North, Racer Axe, Geoff Achison, Shannon Bourne, Jimi Hocking, and The Davidson Brothers to name a few.
The Melbourne Guitar Show attracted a diverse audience from guitar aficionados seeking that elusive vintage bargain to families keen to have their kids meet and greet some of Australia’s finest guitarists.
The 2016 show will be bigger and better, featuring a dedicated acoustic guitar area, separated from the electric riffmeisters. Keep up to date with guitar show announcements as they occur on the dedicated Melbourne Guitar Show webpages.
