Music Guangzhou 2026

Music Guangzhou 2026 runs from May 28 to May 31, 2026 in Guangzhou, and the official visitor guidance defines the exhibition period in Area D of the China Import and Export Fair Complex. For on-site execution, the organiser publishes day-by-day opening hours: May 28–30 are scheduled from 9:30 to 17:30, while May 31 runs from 9:30 to 13:00, with a note that registration counters close 30 minutes before the official closing time. The official home page confirms this is the 22nd edition and states an expected footprint of four exhibition halls with 40,000 m² of exhibition space, which is the planning baseline for booth routing and meeting density. For buyers, the combination of a four-day schedule and published time limits makes pre-booked supplier appointments and a hall-by-hall plan the most reliable way to cover priority categories within the available hours.

The organiser describes Music Guangzhou as a brand exhibition that has developed steadily since its establishment in 2004 and now “covers a full range of products” while focusing on industry hot spots. This positioning is practical for trade visitors because it signals a broad instrument and accessory spectrum rather than a single niche segment, enabling procurement teams to compare suppliers across multiple instrument families and supporting product lines in one visit. The event’s official messaging also frames the show as a platform that links upstream and downstream resources, which typically maps to a sourcing workflow: product discovery and evaluation on the show floor, technical and commercial discussion at booths, and follow-up sampling or quotation work after the event. The show’s timing aligns with a broader “industry week” format, as the organiser notes that major pro-AV and digital entertainment events are held concurrently at the same venue complex, supporting cross-industry visits for buyers who work across instruments, stage, audio, and digital display ecosystems.

The official visit guidance describes the target audience as music and instrument professionals and also indicates participation from industry-related groups such as manufacturers, dealers, performing arts and leisure stakeholders, institutions and teaching/research bodies, media, associations, and performing arts groups. For access control, the organiser states that admission to the exhibition hall is restricted to badge holders only, which is an operational signal that the event is managed as a professional-entry environment rather than open walk-in access. The same guidance explains that visitors can apply for badges through pre-registration (submitting the registration form online and receiving a confirmation email with a barcode) or by registering on site at the reception center. For exhibitors, this structure supports lead quality by pushing visitors through identifiable registration flows; for buyers, it improves meeting efficiency by enabling badge-based entry and a predictable on-site procedure across all show days.

Music Guangzhou is officially positioned as a comprehensive musical instruments exhibition, and the organiser’s statements emphasise full-range product coverage and industry hot spots. For a practical sourcing map, the JETRO J-messe listing for the same 2026 edition provides a detailed breakdown of exhibit categories typically represented at the show, including pianos and keyboards, guitars, string instruments, wind and percussion instruments, electronic instruments, traditional instruments, music education and training resources, sheet music and books, music-related hardware and software, processing equipment and raw materials, digital music services, and accessories. Used as a procurement checklist, this category range helps visitors assign internal responsibilities (instruments, education, digital, manufacturing inputs, accessories) and structure meetings around the four-day timetable and the venue’s Area D routing.

The organiser confirms the venue as Area D of the China Import and Export Fair Complex and publishes the venue address for visitor planning as No. 168, Yue Jiang Zhong Road, Guangzhou, P.R. China. This specificity matters because the complex is a multi-area site and Area D determines entry routing, internal walking distances and meeting punctuality. With published opening hours that shorten to a half-day on May 31 and registration counters closing 30 minutes early, accurate venue planning is not cosmetic; it directly affects how many supplier meetings a team can realistically complete. The official venue statement should therefore be used as the reference in invitations and calendar holds to avoid mismatches with third-party listings that may quote alternate address formats.

The official pages list Guangdong International Science and Technology Exhibition Co., Ltd. as the organiser entity and also reference China Musical Instrument Information Center as an organiser/partner unit in the site’s organiser block. The visitor guidance provides organiser contact details for assistance and services, including designated exhibitor and visitor service contacts and official emails, which is the primary verification layer for registration procedures, badge issuance, and any updates to onsite rules. For participants, the organiser’s website should be treated as the single source of record for confirmed dates, Area D venue designation, opening hours and badge-based admission requirements for 2026.
