Our final feature on this year’s 2026 NAMM show highlights a cool concert event that closed out Day 2 of NAMM. A large-scale concert at the Anaheim Arena on the convention grounds, a tradition that initiated last year when Chuck Wright’s Ultimate Jam Night did a show there. This year’s event was headed up by Paulie Z, a performer and educator based in SoCal for his David Z Foundation, a non-profit organization that serves underprivileged kids with engaging music education opportunities and funding that teams up kids with veteran music professionals.

The evening featured a who’s who of Regional and Nationally known talent to deliver a full evening of music. Included were tributes to Ozzy Osbourne and Live Aid in addition to an greatest hits evening of rock classics.

SLR Magazine was there to cover the concert as well as the red carpet which you can see in the image gallery below.
