Nearly 3,000 people enjoy the Euroclub Party before the grand final of Benidorm Fest

The Euroclub party, organised by Benidorm City Council, brought together nearly 3,000 people last night who enjoyed and were thrilled by the performances of two previous winners of Benidorm Fest, Nebulossa and Blanca Paloma, as well as other contestants from this year and former contestants from previous editions.

On the eve of the grand final of the fifth edition, which will be held tonight at the Palau d’Esports L’Illa de Benidorm, the Plaza de Sus Majestades los Reyes de España became more than ever the home of Benidorm Fest fans, who danced and sang along to hits that have already become anthems of the competition, such as ‘Zorra’, ‘Estoy loca por ti’, ‘I’m a queen’, ‘Uh nana’, ‘Me gustas tú’, and ‘Eaea’.

Following the change of venue agreed upon by the City Council to ensure the safety of attendees, this second session of the Euroclub Party began at 8:30 p.m. and was, once again, a resounding success in terms of organisation and audience response.

The event kicked off with all the participants taking to the stage, along with the Director of Communication and Participation at RTVE, María Eizaguirre, who acted as master of ceremonies for part of the party, later handing the reins over to television personality Torito.

The Mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, and the Councillor for Events, Jesús Carrobles, supported the artists and attended the event along with RTVE Board Member María Roncesvalles Solana; the members of this year's jury, headed by their spokesperson, Roberto Santamaría; the Directors General of Tourism and Diversity of the Valencian Government, Israel Martínez and Stephane Soriano; and the President of Hostelería de España (the Spanish Hospitality Association), José Luis Álvarez.

During the performances, Daniela Blasco, Sofía Coll, Kuve, K!ingdom, Karmento, Sharonne, Mel Ömana, Blanca Paloma, and Nebulossa dominated the lineup of former contestants, culminating in their rendition of the song that took the duo from Ondara to Eurovision.

Among those who didn't qualify for the final in this fifth edition, Minerva Ku, Greg Taro, and Atyat returned to perform the songs they sang in the semifinals, earning the audience's affection and support with resounding applause.

The evening concluded with DJ Dennis Moore providing entertainment and a performance by drag queen Choriza May, accompanied by the dance group 'Bolero de Guadassuar,' to promote the 2026 Valencia Gay Games.
