How will the winner be selected?
The selection will take place over three shows: two semi-finals and a final.
The first semi-final will take place on January 28, 2025. The second semi-final will be two days later on January 30, 2025. The top 4 songs will advance from each semi-final to the final, which will be held on February 1, 2025, when Spain will decide, from the eight participants in the final, which one will represent them in Sweden in May.
The results of the festival in both the semi-finals and the final will be decided through a combination of public votes and an expert jury.
February 1, 2025 will be the first Super Saturday of the season. On the same evening will also be broadcast the finals of Eurosong (Belgium) and EMA (Slovenia), as well as the semi-final of Supernova (Latvia), the 4th heat of Eurovizija.LT (Lithuania) and the first show of Melodifestivalen (Sweden).
Last year, Nebulossa won Benidorm Fest and brought one of the most vivid crowd engagement in Malmö, despite a relatively low result in the Grand Final (22nd, with 30 points).
