Spain: Listen to the songs for Benidorm Fest 2025

Spanish broadcaster RTVE has released the 16 songs for Benidorm Fest 2025. The contest will select the Spanish artist and song for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel.

The 16 artists were revealed back in November, and now their songs have officially been released.

Benidorm Fest 2025

Benidorm Fest 2025 will have three live shows:

• Semi-final 1: 28 January 2025
• Semi-final 2: 30 January 2025
• Final: 1 February 2025

The 16 songs are divided into two Semi-finals where the top-4 from each qualify for the Benidorm Final on 1 February.

The results of all three shows will be in the hands of an expert jury (50%), public voting via SMS (25%) and public voting via app (25%).

Spain in Eurovision

Spain has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 63 times since their debut in 1961. They have won twice: in 1968 (La, La, La...) and the following year, 1969 (Vivo Cantando).

Spain is a member of the "Big-5," which means they don't have to go through the Semi-final round and are automatically qualified for the Grand Final. Spain is also a member of "club zero" because they have managed to get zero points 3 times. They have finished in last place 5 times in Eurovision history, the latest coming in 2017.

Spain's best-known song is probably "Eres Tú" from Eurovision 1973 (2nd place, only four points away from victory).
