Premios Juventud is coming to Europe for the first time in its more than two-decade history, turning Marbella into a showcase for Latin music and Hispanic culture. The ceremony will take place at Starlite Marbella, with more than 200 nominees competing in 50 categories.

The awards have previously been staged in cities including Los Angeles, Miami and Houston in the United States, as well as Panama. This year’s move to Spain follows a partnership between organizers TelevisaUnivision and Starlite Marbella, presenting the event as a bridge between Europe and the Americas.

Mexican singer Carín León leads the nominations with nine. Colombian singer Beéle, Puerto Rican artists Kany García and Rauw Alejandro each have seven nominations. Eladio Carrión, Farruko, Karol G, Manuel Turizo, Ovy On The Drums, Quevedo, Romeo Santos, Shakira and Xavi each have six.

More than 250 artists are expected at the first European edition, alongside around 25 live performances and prominent Hispanic content creators. Confirmed performers include Marc Anthony, Quevedo, Morat, Manuel Carrasco, Camilo, Ana Mena, Yandel, Wisin, Christian Nodal, Ángela Aguilar, Farruko and La Oreja de Van Gogh. The awards cover music, television, streaming, content creators and pop culture, and introduce a new Spanish Creator category for digital talent from Spain.

The “agent of change” awards will go to Antonio Banderas, La Oreja de Van Gogh, Marc Anthony and Yandel. The PJ Fest will continue after the ceremony with performances by Wisin and Manuel Carrasco on Sept. 4 and 5. Univision president Nacho Meyer called the awards “much more than a gala,” saying they have become a celebration of Latin music and culture. Univision and TVE will broadcast the ceremony, hosted by Jesús Vázquez, Alejandra Espinoza and Clarissa Molina.
