My educated guess it that it will be centered around the "Dias the Hispanidad", 12-10 used to be the date that a large military parade is held in Madrid, comparable to 14th of july in France. The last to years they have skipped the military parade due to budgetary reasons. Torrejon is usually the staging base for the fighters, Cuatro Vientos for the helicopters during the parade.
Just my 2 cents
Apparently AIRE 75 will be the only airshow outside of Poland where the Sukhoi Su-22 pair flying display is supposed to appear this year. https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/kluod/

Does anybody knows if there is still an air defilé over Madrid on Sunday 12 October for their national day? The last time they did was in 2011, and in the next 2 years they did no air defile. Maybe with the 75th anniversary they will host one again? Can anybody confirm this?
As far as I understood there will not be a air defile over Madrid this year (most likely because they already do the airshow).
Got this information from a Spanish friend. If anything, then there will be a parade on the ground and the PATRULLA ÁGUILA will fly over Madrid like they have done the past 2 years.
