Organizers of the Brooklyn Synth Expo and LA Synth Expo have announced the first edition of the London, UK edition of this event.

The London Synth and Pedal Expo, scheduled to start March 18, 2023, is planned to be an annual ‘all things with knobs’ event” that features:

• A gear expo – where musicians can try pedals and interact with builders
• A pop-up market – where exhibitors can sell their products to attendees
• Workshops and clinics
• Gear giveaways and other promotions (discounts, deals, etc)

Here’s what organizers have to say about the upcoming event:

“Unpretentious, free to the public, and pop-up in nature, this strictly in-the-headphones event was born from an NYC music blog covering local emerging band, The Deli, as a way to entertain the community of musicians it served.

After expanding to several other big North American music scenes like Los Angeles, Toronto, and Portland – the Synth & Pedal Expo will launch its first European edition in London, UK on March 18, 2023.

Organized centrally in the hip neighborhood of Hackney, the first London Synth & Pedal Expo will give gear lovers the opportunity to check out and try the latest devices by big and small builders belonging to two increasingly cross-pollinating niches.

It will also feature an educational component with workshops and clinics, and an assortment of media partners and influencers that will allow it to broaden its relevance beyond the physical constraints of a real-life event.”

When: March 18, 2023.
