21-23 July

IGF Guitar Summit is back at Kings Place for three days of concerts, workshops, lectures and masterclasses with the world’s greatest guitarists!

Master flamenco guitarist Juan Martín returns for a concert and masterclass, come and hear the amazing guitarist, singer and storyteller Martin Simpson and witness a rare appearance of one of the greatest jazz guitarists in the history of the form: Biréli Lagrène. We also present an entirely new event: the London Blues Summit curated by jump blues guitarist Chris Corcoran. There are also lunchtime concerts by extraordinarily talented young classical guitarists on our Young Artist Platform.

Come and feast your ears on the world’s most popular and versatile instrument the guitar!
And don’t forget to bring your own guitar and take part in our unique workshops and masterclasses.
