Radar Madrid: Open Call for Showcase Artists

Radar Madrid, a new international music market created by Charco in collaboration with the Comunidad de Madrid, has opened a call for artists to perform in its showcase program. The market will take place on October 19, 20, and 21, 2026, at the Movistar Arena in Madrid, with showcases held in La Sala del Movistar Arena.

Radar Madrid is designed to internationalize Spanish talent, connect the local industry with the global ecosystem, and position Madrid as a strategic hub within the Ibero-American and European music circuit. More than one hundred international professionals from Europe, Ibero-America, Asia, and Canada are expected to attend, with the United States as the special guest of this first edition. Performing a showcase offers artists a unique chance to present their music live before a qualified audience of key professionals from the global music industry.

The call for artists has been extended until June 30, 2026. Over three days, the market will offer programming designed to foster professional exchange and collaboration, with a focus on the live and songwriting businesses. It is oriented toward driving international opportunities, facilitating access to stages and festivals, developing new audiences, and generating sync opportunities beyond the Spanish market.

The program will include panels, listening sessions, speed meetings, workshops, networking spaces, and national artist showcases, alongside the participation of music supervisors, festivals, booking agents, and promoters. Artists interested in the showcase program should apply through the official Radar Madrid channels before the June 30 deadline.
