Superbooth 2025 live: all the latest synth news from…

Superbooth 2025 is officially underway. This morning the doors (and DAWs) of Berlin’s FEZ centre open to the industry, press and public, giving the music technology community its first opportunity to see and hear many of the music making tools we’ll be playing, talking about and drooling over in the months and years to come.

Over the past decade, Superbooth has grown to become the most significant date in the annual music technology calendar. Part industry trade show, part synth nerd jam session, the Berlin event sprawls out across the grounds of the city’s FEZ centre over the course of three days – this year taking place on the 8-10 May.

The event plays host to many of the biggest brands in music technology, but also numerous smaller, newer and often innovative outfits. More so than California’s NAMM show, Superbooth has become the de facto event for music tech brands to announce and showcase new gear.

MusicRadar is on the ground, and we’ll be bringing you photos, videos and commentary on all the hottest, newest and weirdest bits of tech on display at this year’s show.

Superbooth is go

We've just rocked up at FEZ-Berlin for Superbooth 2025 - Europe's biggest event for makers and fans of synths and music technology - and the show is about to get started.

This year’s list of exhibitors stretches from big names like Korg, Moog, Elektron, Arturia, Teenage Engineering and Oberheim all the way through to a host of small independent outfits showing off some of the most innovative products in modern music tech.

Tons of new synths, drum machines, sequencers, controllers, modules and more have been unveiled in the lead-up to the show, and many more will be announced as the day goes on - and we’re here to document the whole thing on our live blog and the MusicRadar Tech Instagram and YouTube channel.

What are you hoping will be announced at this year’s show? Let us know in the comments.
