Premios Juventud 2026 is set to broadcast live on September 3 from Marbella, Spain, marking the awards show’s first-ever European location. The event promises a dazzling array of high-profile performances, new song premieres, and genre-crossing collaborations. Headliners include Marc Anthony, Christian Nodal, Farruko, Wisin and Yandel, Morat, and Camilo, among others. This year’s show also honors the philanthropic work of select artists, presenting the "Agents of Change" awards to Marc Anthony, Yandel, and Spain's La Oreja de Van Gogh for their long-term humanitarian efforts.

Marc Anthony is recognized for his leadership with the Maestro Cares Foundation, which has supported over 35 projects for children and underserved communities throughout Latin America and the U.S. since 2012. He also spearheads the "Unidos por Venezuela" benefit concert to aid earthquake recovery. Yandel receives praise for championing education, mental health awareness, and Latino talent development, notably through a symphonic tour benefiting more than 250 classical musicians. Meanwhile, La Oreja de Van Gogh is honored for three decades of advocacy through initiatives aiding storm victims and promoting social causes.

The lineup features a diverse mix of established stars and emerging artists, showcasing their new works and collaborations on the Malaga stage. Performers include Venezuelan duo Alleh and Elena Rose, Spanish pop star Ana Mena, Mexican singer Ángela Aguilar, and Colombian artist Aria Vega. New music debuts come from Camilo, who will unveil a global release, and DND (Do Not Disturb), presenting their song "Too Good" backed by Pharrell Williams. Other notable acts include regional favorites like Mexican singer Camila Fernández, Puerto Rican rapper Eladio Carrión, and merengue legend Elvis Crespo.

This event represents an expansion for Premios Juventud, which traditionally took place in the United States or Latin America. After last year’s broadcast from Panama City, the 2026 ceremony ushers in a new European chapter at Marbella’s Starlite Auditorium. The awards show will also culminate PJ Fest, a six-day cultural initiative starting August 29 across Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and Marbella. The broadcast will air across major networks including Univision, UNIMÁS, ViX, and YouTube, connecting global audiences to this vibrant celebration of Latin music and culture.
