The 2026 Acura Grand Prix at Long Beach is loud enough to shake the earth off its foundation. The Kings Of Chaos provide the rock. The race cars provide the roll. Drummer & Band Leader Matt Sorum shares his passion for both the music and the machines.
“The Fall Preview is a wonderful opportunity for attendees to get a taste of what our 11-day festival in February will offer,” said Lisa Vossler Smith, Executive Director of Modernism Week.
All attending are engulfed by an Alice In Wonderland experience. The endless stream of colors, sounds, smells, and blazingly fast racing coupled with a hint of danger is like a motorsports version of a Timothy Leary acid trip.
Besides all of the fantastic instruments, musicians and performances make the NAMM Show experience second to none. On one hand you have bands like the George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, and on the other there's the jazzy feel of the Levin Brothers. Attendees get the up close and personal experience of a couple talented musicians at a small, exhibitor's show booth and the big time stage performances, along with everything in between. Our gallery captures some of the best moments in time and sound, plus we get inside the heads of few musicians! This is NAMM!
