LIMS brings together four top-notch shows under one roof. Incorporating the spectacular London Guitar Show (featuring Joe Satriani live, among others) and Europe's largest drum show, Drummer Live (boasting a line-up that includes Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith, Led Zeppelin reunion drummer Jason Bonham and Korn's Ray Luzier), this new event also introduces the Unplugged and Sound Recording & Technology Show. Staged over four days, the show embraces the entire music-making industry with over 300 of the world's leading musical instrument companies. This will be the ultimate day out for any musician, or indeed anybody interested in music, and is set to bring the UK's most impressive collection of musical gear under one roof.
