For over 90 years, Marine Band San Diego has thrilled countless millions throughout the world with its inspiring renditions of patriotic music, classical literature, Big Band and Top 40 favorites, and, of course, the marches of John Philip Sousa. This year, The NAMM Show has the privilege of inviting Marine Band San Diego to open the show on Thursday morning at the Arena Plaza. 

While the artist lineup for this year’s concert remains a secret, Yamaha has built an unmatched reputation for developing and producing the largest and most energetic concert events at past NAMM Shows. Last year’s concert featured star turns by celebrated artists Melissa Etheridge, Sam Moore, Michael McDonald, Butch Walker, Lindsey Stirling, Marc Broussard and Sheléa.

On Saturday evening at the annual “Imagine Party,” The NAMM Foundation and The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus presented by Other World Computing will welcome singer and songwriter, Elle King. King blends pop, blues, and rock ‘n’ roll into a sound that’s all her own.

Each year NAMM hosts a special Industry Tribute, remembering the music industry professionals we lost over the past year and featuring a moving video accompanied by live music. Join us in honoring their lasting legacy, on the NAMM Yamaha Grand Plaza Stage.

Women @ NAMM presents the SWIM Fund (Smart Women in Music) for a SWIM Meet at The NAMM Show. This event will serve as an excellent opportunity to connect and network with other women in the music products industry. Featuring special guests Eva Gardner, bassist for Pink!, and Arnetta Johnson, trumpet player for Beyoncé. Come ready to dive in and connect!
