Music lovers cannot miss the Musikmesse (11 to 14 April 2018) and Prolight + Sound (10 to 13 April 2018) that bring together companies with retailers, professionals from the musical-instrument, event and media-technologies sectors, as well as musicians from all over the world. For companies of all sizes there is a wide spectrum of options to showcase products, ranging from all-inclusive booth packages at an entry-level price and open air live-demonstrations to the integration of brands and endorsers in the event programme of the two shows.

This important international trade-fair duo, that in 2017 attracted a total of around 100,000 visitors from 144 countries to Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre, will move even closer together in 2018. New is the concentration of the audio, DJ and recording product segment in Hall 4.1 and other improvements in the layout of the fairs. With measures to reduce noise levels and the focus on trade visitors on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning, Musikmesse will raise its profile as the platform and source of inspiration for professionals from the musical-instrument and educational segments, and for musicians. For all music fans, there will be a reduced-price private-visitor ticket on the Friday afternoon and Saturday. Recently launched, successful formats, such as the Drum Camp, Guitar Camp, and the Silent Stage area, will be continued in 2018.

For the third time running, Musikmesse will be accompanied by the Musikmesse Festival in 2018. In the evenings, visitors can look forward to concerts by a broad spectrum of extraordinary acts at the Exhibition Centre and venues throughout Frankfurt.
