The showcases circuit is the core of Monkey Week SON Estrella Galicia, a unique opportunity to give visibility to new talents in front of the main professionals of the music industry. These are not standard concerts, but short and focused presentations, designed to show the best of each artist in just 45 minutes.

In its sixteen previous editions, more than 1,200 bands and solo artists have played on our stages, consolidating Monkey Week SON Estrella Galicia as one of the most relevant emerging music showcases in Europe. Festival programmers, record labels, booking agencies, media and other industry agents attend every year in search of new proposals.

This 17th edition will once again turn venues, squares and unique spaces into a marathon of showcases for three days. If you are part of an agency, label or collective and you represent a band or artist with a solid and growing proposal, this form is the first step to be part of Monkey Week SON Estrella Galicia.
