Babel Music XP, an international showcase and professional springboard for emerging world music artists, has officially launched its call for participants for the 2026 edition. The event will return to Marseilles from March 19 to 21, 2026.
Artists interested in performing at the fourth edition are invited to apply between June 10 and July 19, 2025.
To be eligible, applicants must submit the following:
- Audio recordings no older than two years
- Video content recorded within the past two years
- A recent live performance video (recorded session, rehearsal, or concert), either public or private. Performance quality—not video quality—is the primary evaluation criterion.
Babel Music XP continues to champion musical diversity, offering selected artists a high-impact opportunity to connect with international audiences and industry professionals alike.
