Benidorm Fest 2027: estos son los 18 artistas participantes

RTVE has officially revealed the roster of artists set to compete in the sixth edition of Benidorm Fest, scheduled from January 23 to 30, 2027, in the Spanish city of Benidorm. This national music event will unfold over multiple days, with semifinals slated for January 26 and 28, culminating in a grand finale on January 30.

The selection process was notably competitive, with nearly 900 songs submitted between April 6 and July 30. From this extensive pool, 18 performers were chosen to take part in the festival, which blends a mix of well-established names and rising stars within the Spanish music sphere.

Among the participants are notable returning artists such as Vicco, who previously secured third place in the 2023 edition with the hit 'Nochentera,' a standout success from that year. Isabel Aaiún, who had appeared as a guest performer in 2025 following the viral acclaim of her track 'Potra Salvaje,' now returns to the contest as a competitor.

The lineup also includes Merche, a seasoned artist with over 20 years in the music industry, alongside Andrés Koi, formerly the frontman of the band DVICIO. Another prominent figure in the group is Gale, a two-time Latin Grammy winner known for her songwriting contributions to hits like 'Superestrella' by Aitana and 'Copa Vacía' by Shakira.

Celebrating a milestone, Ladilla Rusa will mark their tenth anniversary with their participation in this edition of Benidorm Fest. Additionally, the group Pipiolas has earned recognition from RTVE as one of the festival's most eagerly anticipated entrants, reflecting significant fan interest.

The victorious act will be awarded the prestigious 'Sirenita de Oro' trophy alongside a prize totaling €150,000, divided as €100,000 for the performers and €50,000 for the songwriters. However, the festival's role as Spain's selection for the Eurovision Song Contest remains uncertain. RTVE abstained from participating in Eurovision 2026 due to the contest's location in Israel and has yet to confirm its involvement for 2027. According to the festival's rules, the winner will represent Spain at Eurovision only if RTVE chooses to participate.

Despite questions about Eurovision involvement, Benidorm Fest continues to establish itself as a significant platform for Spanish artists to showcase their talents and connect with a wide audience. More detailed profiles and information about each participant are available on RTVE's official website, offering music fans an opportunity to engage with the diverse acts competing next January.

As the festival approaches, anticipation builds around both the performances and the eventual decision regarding Spain's presence at Eurovision. The blend of returning contenders, seasoned veterans, and fresh faces promises a dynamic competition, reflecting the evolving landscape of Spain's contemporary music scene.
