Spain’s Benidorm Fest has revealed all 18 artists competing in its 2027 edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vicco, Merche, Ladilla Rusa and Isabel Aai\u00fan are among the most recognisable names confirmed for the televised music competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement was made by Spanish broadcaster RTVE on 14 October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The competition will feature two semifinals on 26 and 28 January before concluding with the grand final on 30 January 2027. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The complete artist lineup includes Alba Morena, Andr\u00e9s Koi, Bombai, Chema Rivas, dani dicostas, Fran Tuduri, GALE, Isabel Aai\u00fan, Ladilla Rusa, Merche, Pipiolas, Polo N\u00e1ndez & Sebasti\u00e1n Llosa, ROSSA, Sara Abad, Sev’s, Suzete, Tami Tamako and Vicco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 18 contestants represent a broad mixture of Spanish pop, indie music, Latin sounds and contemporary electronic influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some artists have already enjoyed significant commercial success, while others will be using Benidorm Fest to reach a much wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s one of the strengths of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Established performers appear alongside emerging artists, giving audiences an opportunity to discover music they might otherwise miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vicco is one of the most recognisable returning contestants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her song Nochentera<\/em> became a major Spanish pop hit following her appearance at Benidorm Fest 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The track’s combination of nostalgic production and contemporary pop helped Vicco build an audience well beyond the original television competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her return in 2027 is therefore one of the most interesting stories from the lineup announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Merche brings considerable experience to the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Spanish singer has enjoyed a successful career spanning more than two decades, with songs including Abre tu mente<\/em> becoming familiar to Spanish pop audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Isabel Aai\u00fan represents a different musical direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her song Potra Salvaje<\/em> became a major cultural phenomenon in Spain, particularly during 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her music draws from traditional Spanish influences alongside contemporary popular sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having Merche and Isabel Aai\u00fan competing alongside newer artists gives Benidorm Fest an unusually broad range of styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Puerto Rican artist GALE is another interesting addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside her solo career, she has worked as a songwriter for major Latin and international artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her credits include work associated with Shakira, Christina Aguilera, Aitana and Manuel Turizo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That experience could make her one of the competition’s most interesting contestants when the songs are finally revealed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n RTVE has announced that the competing songs will be presented on 17 December 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That means the current announcement confirms the artists, but the public has not yet heard their official competition entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The songs should provide another major moment of interest before the live performances begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Benidorm Fest takes place at Palau d’Esports L’Illa de Benidorm in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first semifinal takes place on 26 January, the second on 28 January and the grand final on 30 January 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Vicco, Merche, Ladilla Rusa, Isabel Aai\u00fan and GALE among the 18 contestants, Benidorm Fest 2027 promises another diverse competition celebrating contemporary Spanish-language music.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMerche and Isabel Aai\u00fan join the competition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
