FOMAT XXVI

La Voz del Mundo

Following the victory of Gaduridos in the 25th edition of FOMAT, the Union of Gaduri Broadcasting Corporations has announced the launch of the 26th edition of the competition.

The competition will be hosted at La Esfera Sonora, a new music venue in Ciudad de Gadur, built with the purpose of growing the Gaduri music scene into a global brand. The arena is specially built for music events and holds 22,000 people. The stage is raised in the centre of the stadium, giving the arena the impression of having a spherical structure.

Gaduridos will invite nations from across Terra to compete in the competition, with the focus being to showcase the variety of different cultures and traditions across the globe. Gaduridos hopes to encourage a variety of genres and styles to enter to create a diverse and engaging competition.
