Benidorm will once again celebrate the Eurovision Song Contest in style and will once again be the epicenter of national and international music on May 16 and 17. A new edition of the Euroclub Benidorm Fest was launched today in Madrid. It will take place in Parque de l'Aigüera, with free admission for all fans of the competition until the venue is full. Tickets can be downloaded free of charge from the Enterticket platform at https://www.enterticket.es/eventos/euroclub-benidorm-fest-2025-708122&n… ;

This new Euroclub Benidorm will have a wide and varied program with many artists, numerous surprises, and an atmosphere worthy of the event. Doors are scheduled to open at 6:00 PM on May 16, so that Eurofans can take their seats and get ready for the following hours. At 8:00 PM, DJ Dennis Moore will take the stage, and two hours later, performances by several artists present at the Benidorm Fest will begin. JKbello, K!ngdom, La Chispa, Daniela Blasco, Mawot, and Carla Frigo have already been confirmed.

The following day, Saturday the 17th, the Junior Euroclub will kick off at noon with performances by Carlos Higes, Sandra Valero, and Chloe de la Rosa. That day, the festival atmosphere will begin earlier, at 5:00 PM, with an afternoon party and a Benieuro-Bingo celebration in collaboration with OFEB. At 7:00 PM, DJ Dennis Moore will return, and an hour later, the duo Nebulossa, Spain's representatives at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, will perform.

The highlight will come at 9:00 PM with the live broadcast of the Eurovision Song Contest on giant screens, which all attendees can follow from L'Aigüera Park. All of this will be accompanied on both days by spaces for a Food Truck, a Relaxation Zone, and a Fun Zone, among many other surprises.

But in addition, and as in previous years, Benidorm will once again be present at the Eurovision final. Chanel Terreros, winner of the first edition of the Benidorm Fest and Spain's representative at Eurovision 2022, will be in charge of announcing the verdict of the Spanish jury in the Eurovision final. And she will announce it, as has been the case for the last three years, from Benidorm. This was announced today by RTVE's Director of Communications and Participation, María Eizaguirre, at a press conference held at the network's studios in Torrespaña, which was attended by the Councilor for Events, Jesús Carrobles.

Carrobles stated that "we are delighted that Benidorm will once again have the powerful promotional and visibility opportunity of the Eurovision final, which last year reached 163 million viewers worldwide; and it is also a pleasure to have Chanel with us for this occasion."
