UK Drum Show 2025 – ACC Liverpool: 18th and 19th October

Liverpool has long been a city with music at its heart, so what better location for the UK Drum Show 2025? It’s going to be taking place on the 18th and 19th of October at the ACC Liverpool, and is aimed at enthusiasts of all abilities, as well as anyone who just fancies seeing what it is all about.

This is a one of a kind event that brings together drummers, percussionists, and music lovers for a celebration of all things rhythm. It offers the chance to try and buy some of the newest and best drumming products in the world, watch incredibly talented percussionists perform, and take classes and workshops led by experts in the field. One suhc expert is Mike Dolbear, a very well known figure in the drumming world, just to give you an idea.

Ex BBC radio presenter, Ollie Winiberg, will be presenting on the main stage and interviewing people of interest, and as with last year, the main stage mini will shine a spotlight on drummers aged 12 and under.

So if you’ve been looking for something drumming related to educate or inspire you, this event is your ticket. Family-friendly, all skills catered for, and packed with moments to learn, be inspired, and connect with the drumming community.

Tickets and Prices

UK Drum Show 2025 tickets

You can buy tickets for the Saturday, the Sunday, or the whole weekend, and there are VIP options too.

However, standard entry is priced as follows:

  • Adult 1 day: £30.00
  • Child 1 day: £19.25
  • Adult weekend: £49.50
  • Child weekend: £33.00

Children under 8 go free, but there will be ticket fees to add on to the entry price.

The VIP tickets are about £40 more expensive, so it’s a lot, although you do get quite a few goodies for that including a pair of limited edition Chad Smith Vater drumsticks, plus priority queuing to all main stage performances.

If you want to attend one of the many workshops you will need to look at the specific booking instructions on the official website. Some are first come first served on the day, other have to be booked in advance. Most look to be included in the price of entry though, so they shouldn’t cost you anything extra.

The UK Drum Show is open from 9am until 6pm on Saturday and Sunday.
