The State Circuit of Popular Musics turning through Salas (GPS), after fifteen successful editions through which more than 525 bands have passed, launches its sixteenth call. #GPS16 will be open, for bands and soloists, from Tuesday 16 (11: 00h) until Tuesday, September 30 (18: 00h) of 2025. If you are interested, you can register on the official website of Turning for Salas. Here, the bases of the call.
One more year, the objective of GPS is to support emerging artists of all styles, both soloists and bands, offering aid for the celebration of concerts within the Salas Circuit throughout the Spanish territory as promoting the most living expression of popular music. These concerts will be held outside the Autonomous Community of residence of each artist or a minimum of 300 km within it.
With this, we want to strengthen the new musical talents and their dissemination beyond their field of natural influence, as well as encourage their professionalization. Also, artists will receive help for the production and record promotion of their works by enhancing with all this the record production and stability of the live music rooms circuit.
An important novelty that will be in force from this edition is that the band or soloist must provide in the registration process a “discographic, promotional and tour launch plan” in which the next record launch plans and those actions that have the intention of developing with the GPS16 aid are detailed.
34 artists (bands and soloists) will be selected among all those requests received that meet the requirements and a calendar will be developed in coordination with the rooms and the selected artists, with a minimum of six concerts for each artist, which will take place between December 1, 2025 and May 31, 2026, inclusive.
The call for Salas will open at 11:00 on Wednesday, October 1 and will close at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, October 31, 2025.
Among the bands that have passed through previous editions of Turning for Salas are: Sidecars, Bizarro Love Triangle, Izal, Viva Sweden, Morgan, La Fash Wonder, the ponds, your other beautiful, twenty -one, Travis Birds, Izaro, Queralt Lahoz, Nat Simons, Lady Banana, Marilia Monzón, El Nesto or Shego, among many others.
