On Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11, Halls 31, 32, and 33 of BolognaFiere will transform into a sprawling stage: a constellation of events designed for those seeking inspiration, connection, and emotion.
Between demos, concerts, meet-ups, and masterclasses, every visitor will have the chance to dive deep into the world of the guitar, actively taking part in the experience and engaging with musicians, exhibitors, and industry professionals.
For the first time in Guitar Show history, some of the most renowned guitar and bass players will share their stories in a series of exclusive masterclasses.
Major names from both the national and international scene: Chris Buck, Phil Palmer, Marco Fanton, Andrea Braido, Federico Malaman, Drigo and Cesare “Mac” Petricich of Negrita, Mel Previte, and Max Cottafavi.
Seventy-five intense minutes of technique, storytelling, improvisation, and direct dialogue with the audience. A unique opportunity to get to the heart of their musical language—through anecdotes, stylistic secrets, tone-shaping approaches, and career insights.

But that’s not all. All around the fair, five major event areas will keep the energy high across both days, with dozens of artists, concerts, demos, and showcases included with your general admission ticket.
The Indoor Stage, located in the Service Center, will be the beating heart of performances, with a lineup that includes guitar virtuosos, bands, bassists, and special guests.
The Main Stage, positioned outside the Guitar Show entrance, will be the first thing visitors see—and the perfect setting for the Guitar Sunday Night on Saturday at 10:30 PM: a massive open-air jam session led by Giuseppe Scarpato and Enrico Santacatterina, featuring top artists like Phil Palmer, Chris Buck, Drigo and Cesare of Negrita, Jack Gardiner, Gianluca Ferro, Andy Martongelli, and many more.
Inside Halls 31, 32, and 33, the Silent Stages will offer a more intimate and immersive experience through wireless headphone listening. These stages will feature not only artists, but also some of the most followed creators, YouTubers, and content makers.
