About Square, Portugal 2025 (From the website)

SQUARE is a festival-conference dedicated to enhancing the exchange of knowledge among professionals in the music industry and promoting the circulation of emerging bands and musical projects across the different territories bordering the Atlantic. SQUARE is part of the Braga'25 - Portuguese Capital of Culture program.

SQUARE connects and celebrates the talent that lives and works within the margins. Focusing on the connection between the continents bathed by the Atlantic (Africa, Americas, and Europe), SQUARE celebrates diversity by creating a networking space for emerging talent and new music trends bursting out of these territories. Taking place between January 29th and February 1st, 2025, in the Portuguese cities of Braga, Barcelos, Famalicão, and Guimarães.

SQUARE connects bands, professionals, and audiences through a programming model that includes a convention, a showcase cycle, and clubbing proposals, linking those who promote to those who watch, those who create to those that program, those who think to those who implement, thereby solidifying an ecosystem that can generate new ideas and opportunities, and that reframes the concepts of creativity, success, and career. SQUARE is part of the program for Braga25, Portuguese Capital of Culture, and has the support of the cities.
