Kuxkuxean 2026: Stage Call for Navarra Bands

Pamplona's Kuxkuxean cycle gives emerging Navarra bands eleven professional concert slots at the Totem and Zentral venues. Apply by July 31, 2026.

Deadline: July 31, 2026

The Pamplona City Council and the Navarra Music Commission, an office of the regional government, have organized the third edition of Kuxkuxean, a music cycle created so that emerging bands and artists from Navarra can present their work in a professional setting. The call is open to local bands and solo artists of any genre who are beginning their careers.

Eleven acts will be selected to play across two venues: six at Sala 2 of Zentral in Pamplona's old town and five at the Sala Magna of Totem in Villava. Concerts run from October 2026 through February 2027. For Zentral, three of the six bands will be from Pamplona and three from the rest of Navarra; one Totem date is reserved for a Villava group. Selection weighs the quality of each proposal, the act's current momentum and the promotional value of the slot, with particular attention to groups singing in Basque and to bands made up of women.
