16 'Benidorm Fest' songs released in Spain

It's our favourite new pre-Christmas tradition... Next year's Benidorm Fest songs have dropped!

When that point in time arrives (if it's not already arrived) that you absolutely can't bear to hear Last Christmas, The Fairytale of New York and Feliz Navidad one more time, fret not; you've now got the likes of LOCA XTI, REINAS and ESC DIVA (all caps - artists' own) to get immersed in. It's something we've just gotten to rely upon over the festive period by now. 

16 songs will take part in the 4th edition of Spain's Eurovision pre-selection Benidorm Fest. They'll compete across two semi-finals on Tuesday 28 January and Thursday 30 January, followed by a grand final on Saturday 1 February. 

The winning song will get to follow previous Benidorm Fest winners SloMo, Eaea and ZORRA, and represent Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest.

And Spain's next Eurovision entry is already out there for you to listen to!

All 16 entries will be released across streaming and download platforms on Friday 20 December, but until then you can hear each of them in full over on broadcaster RTVE's Benidform Fest website.

And in another annual tradition, RTVE has also assigned a unique, specially-designed icon to each of the songs that are taking part in Benidorm Fest. It's the cute little details that we love!

At the 68th Eurovision Song Contest in May, Spain was represented by Benidorm Fest 2024 winners Nebulossa and their song ZORRA.

The synth-pop party starter picked up 30 points and ended up in 22nd place at the Grand Final.
