USA - Organisers of the 2025 NAMM Show, scheduled to take place 21-25 January in Anaheim, are monitoring the wildfires in and around nearby Los Angeles. As of today, 10 January, the show will go on.
“We are closely monitoring the wildfires in Los Angeles and their devastating impact on local communities,” says NAMM president and CEO John Mlynczak. “During the past few days, our efforts have been focused on reaching out to our members and partners located in the metropolitan Los Angeles area to confirm their safety. Our thoughts are with them at this time.
“Anaheim is located 60 miles southeast of the wildfires and is currently unaffected. We are actively working with our partners in Anaheim and the local authorities to ensure we have accurate, up-to-date information. Both Los Angeles International (LAX) and Orange County (John Wayne) airports have remained fully operational.
“Based on the latest information, The 2025 NAMM Show will be able to take place as planned from January 21-25 in Anaheim.
“We have pushed back the badge allotment deadline to Friday, January 10th for all member companies, and of course will offer any additional accommodations needed for our members and attendees in LA who are affected. NAMM will continue to monitor the situation daily as the winds calm down and fires are contained. We will communicate any further information as it’s available leading up to the 2025 show.
“We know the road to recovery will be long for the communities affected. NAMM and The NAMM Foundation are committed to supporting the needs of our members and partners in LA through this unprecedented tragedy.”
