Benidorm Fest

Benidorm Fest is a music festival, organized in Benidorm, Spain. It serves as a selection process for Spain's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest, although organizers currently state they remain unlinked to Eurovision. The festival is newsworthy because organizers have announced changes for the 2027 edition. The application period will open earlier than in previous years, starting this spring. Another significant change is the allowance of autotune in performances. Despite these adjustments, the festival's leadership maintains the same position regarding its relationship with Eurovision, suggesting no immediate plans to directly tie Benidorm Fest to the selection process. The festival's relevance lies in its role in shaping Spain's musical representation on an international stage, and these changes could influence the type of artists and songs selected.
