Musikmesse 2012 - News & Updates on This Year's Show
![Musikmesse 2012](/files/Musikmesse-2012.jpg)
Musikmesse 2012 is looking set to be the biggest music instrument and gear show of the year!
In January there were a record 95,709 attendees at NAMM in Anaheim, and last year over 110,000 people went to Musikmesse in Frankfurt, so given how things are generally looking up this year, we expect Musikmesse 2012 to be the most highly visited music gear show for the year - it will take place from the 21st to the 24th of March.
Don't think all the big new product launches are over - we suspect there are a number of companies who have been holding back and there are yet to be some interesting new items for musicians announced.
We'll be updating this page regularly with all the latest news, rumors, and gossip - here's some things we suggest are worth looking out for...
The platz where we say the main action will be is in Hall 5.0 with the Keyboards and Synthesizers, and Hall 5.1 where you'll find all the DJ & Recording gear, and the Music Software.
