There will also be a main stage featuring a variety of musicians showing off their skills, acoustic workshops, the Gear Hall where aspiring guitarists will be able to try out and buy the latest guitars plus a Guitar Garage where experts will be on hand to give peoples’ instruments some TLC.

Orange, Marshall and Vox will also show off a collection of amps at the 60 Years Of British Tone exhibition and will document the story of the three iconic brands and their place in the UK’s rich rock tone heritage.
