Everything is ready for the fourth edition of Benidorm Fest, the event that from December 28 to January 1 will decide which artist or band will represent Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest. Yesterday, the first and only press conference took place with the 16 artists gathered before the media during this week of rehearsals and shows, where the order of performance was announced.

Today, starting at 22:50, performances will take place at the Palau d'Esports l'Illa featuring Kuve ('LOCA XTI'), David Afonso ('AMOR BARATO'), Chica Sobresalto ('Mala feminista'), 'K!ngdom ('Me gustas tú'), Lucas Bun ('Te escribo en el cielo'), Sonia y Selena ('REINAS'), Lachispa ('Hartita de llorar'), and Daniela Blasco ('UH NANA'). Additionally, the format will include two guest artists: Edurne, celebrating ten years since her Eurovision performance, and the indie pop band Ginebras.

Tomorrow, it will be the turn of Mel Ömana ('I'M A QUEEN'), Henry Semler ('NO LO VES'), DeTeresa ('LA PENA'), J Kbello ('V.I.P.'), Carla Frigo ('Bésame'), Mawot ('Raggio Di Sole'), Celine Van Heel ('La casa'), and Melody ('ESA DIVA'). On this second day, besides the presenter Ruth Lorenzo, Chenoa and Isabel Aaiún, the creator of the summer hit 'Potra Salvaje', will be the guests.

The Voting System

In each show, four artists will qualify for the grand final on Saturday, February 1. The jury spokesperson will be Roberto Santamaría, director of RNE, and it will consist of eight professionals; four national and four international. Their votes will account for 50% of the total scores.

This year, the novelty is that voting will be free for the first time in the festival's four editions. The option to vote via SMS will remain, but it will also be possible through the RTVE Play app.

Benidorm Fest viewers must download the app, register, and vote. Through this system, only one vote can be cast. Voting will open for 15 minutes after the performances conclude. The sum of votes received via SMS and RTVE Play will form the remaining 50% of the points.
