The intensity gradually increases until it reaches the “earthquake”, a deafening explosion at the end. Each mascletà has a unique musical composition created by the noises of the gunpowder cannons, and the firecrackers hang from ropes to create a more colourful scene.

The Benidorm Fest is a musical event organised by RTVE (Spain’s national TV), whose aim is to select the artist and song that will represent Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest. The selection consists of three galas: two semi-finals and a final, in which both the public and an expert jury will choose the Spaniard representative for the festival each year.
After the success of the first two editions, Benidorm Fest 2024 is back and better than ever. This edition will feature 16 -not 18- great performers competing for a ticket to Malmö 2024.
