There’s a low rumble echoing down the Mersey – no, it’s not thunder, it’s dozens of drum kits getting ready for a proper workout at the UK Drum Show. If you’ve ever dreamed of swapping your air-drumming for the real thing, you might want to clear your diary this October.
What’s It About?
The UK Drum Show brings the finest in all things percussion to Liverpool’s Exhibition Centre. Expect walls of snares and cymbals, global launches from big-name drum brands, and enough kit to fill a dozen practice rooms. You can watch live artist performances and try your hand at workshops from some of the best drummers around. If you fancy a bit of exclusive gear or simply want to ogle the world’s shiniest new pedal, this is the place.
When Is It On?
The sticks start flying on 24 and 25 October 2026. That’s a Saturday and Sunday – ideal for a family trip or just an escape from hoovering.
Where Is It?
Right on the docks at Exhibition Centre Liverpool, Kings Dock, Liverpool Waterfront, L3 4FP. You’ll hear it before you see it.
Tickets
For the official way in, head to Ticket Quarter. Don’t forget your earplugs, unless you want to hear your heartbeat on Monday.
