On 9 May 2026, the foyer of De Roma will become the sound laboratory of the future. In the music category, we are looking for artists who use sound, rhythm and lyrics to reflect on technology, cities and humanity. From electronic productions to acoustic sets, from hip hop to experimental soundscapes: solo, band or producer, everything is welcome. You will have 7 minutes to show us what you think the metropolis of tomorrow will sound like. What role does technology play in your music or story? Can music preserve warmth and humanity in a digital world? Bring us a sound that looks ahead and lingers in the mind.

Sign up here for the music preliminaries. (until 17th of april)

Then a professional experience awaits you in your category—offering a concrete step toward greater visibility and further development.
