Superbooth 2026 rumours, news & announcements

Scroll down to catch all the key Superbooth ’26 talking points and gear news in the run‑up to the show:

The big 3 will be there (Roland, Korg & Yamaha)

One of the most exciting revelations ahead of the show is that Roland are back. They’ve been absent from Superbooth for the last few years, but according to the official Superbooth floorplan, they’re returning in style with multiple stands booked. We’d expect their current synths and music tech lineup to be fully set up and ready to play with. But the really rad part is that one of those stands is dedicated to Future Design Labs. That means there’s a very real chance we’ll see some seriously cool prototypes on display.

Yamaha always go big at Superbooth, with a stand packed full of their latest and greatest gear. We’re almost 100% sure you’ll be able to get hands-on with the mighty Montage M and MODX M series synths, but what else might be lurking? We’ll have to wait and see what they roll out tomorrow.

As for Korg, your guess is as good as ours. That said, the Korg Berlin team, led by the legendary Tatsuya Takahashi, will be on site somewhere. And if history tells us anything, it’s that they rarely turn up without something a bit wacky and unexpected to show off. Fingers crossed!

Is Superbooth open to the public?

Yup! Some musical instrument conventions (NAMM, for example) are typically open only to industry insiders — but Superbooth ain’t one of ’em. Anyone can attend, with Superbooth 2026 tickets available via the official Superbooth site. Go for a single day, dive in with a full three‑day pass or grab a ticket for one of the many workshops.

When was the first Superbooth?

Created by the crew behind Berlin synth haven SchneidersLaden, Superbooth was born following the decline of Frankfurt’s Musikmesse. From 2017 onwards, it’s made its home in the leafy surroundings of the FEZ-Berlin centre.
