Spain: The reveal of Benidorm Fest 2025 participants will take place on November 7th!

The sixteen contestants hoping to win Benidorm Fest 2025 and represent Spain in the 69th Eurovision Song Contest, will be announced by RTVE in a week from now.

ESCPlus reports that RTVE will reveal the contestants for Benidorm Fest 2025, Spain’s Eurovision contest, at a press conference at the Prado del Rey studios in Madrid on November 7.

A record number of submissions for Benidorm Fest 2025

Artists interested in participating in Benidorm Fest 2025 had until October 10th to submit their creations. With nearly a thousand submissions—two hundred more than the previous year’s edition—RTVE saw an increase in interest.

A special jury panel appointed by RTVE, consisting of music experts, evaluated the songs submitted. Among the songs, the panel selected sixteen which will compete in Benidorm Fest’s televised shows and six more back-up entries.

The planning for all Benidorm Fest’s shows will be as following:

• First Semi-Final: January 28, 2025
• Second Semi-Final: January 30, 2025
• Grand Final: February 1, 2025

Meanwhile and in contrast to previous Benidorm Fest editions, the specific outcomes of the semifinals will not be made public during the show. Rather, no additional information will be released other than the names of the finalists, until Benidorm Fest is concluded.

The previous winners of Benidorm Fest and Spain’s representatives in Eurovision 2024 were Nebulossa, with their songs “Zorra” and ended up in 22nd place of the Final.
