Abstract:	Future space and ground-based survey programmes will produce an impressive amount of photometric data. The GAIA space mission will map the complete sky down to V=20m, and produce time series for about 1 billion stars. Survey instruments such as the International Liquid Mirror Telescope will observe slices of the sky down to V=23m. In both experiments, the opportunity exists to discover a huge number of variable stars. Predictions of the expected total number of variable stars and the number of variables in specific subgroups are given.
