Notably, Farruko, Magán and Rous will premiere their new song “Marbella Nights,” the official Premios Juventud anthem in honor of this year’s first gala taking place in Spain. Farruko will also grace the stage with Greeicy to perform their EDM banger “Yapaque,” which hit No. 1 on the Latin Airplay chart in July.
Quevedo will make his PJ debut with a medley, including “Columbia,” “Al Golpito” and “La Graciosa” alongside Elvis Crespo. Marc Anthony, one of this year’s Agent of Change honorees next to Yandel, will celebrate his special night with a mix of hits, including “Aguanile,” “Valió La Pena,” “Pa’lla Voy” and “Vivir Mi Vida.”
This year’s top nominees are Carín León, leading the pack with nine nominations, as well as Beéle, Kany García and Rauw Alejandro with seven nods each. Premios Juventud will take place Sept. 3 at the Starlite Auditorium in Marbella, Spain, marking its first time in Europe, following past editions in Miami, Puerto Rico and Panama.
Under the theme “Conéctate al Vibe” (“Connect to the Vibe”), the awards show — which celebrates the artists and young changemakers making an impact in music, social media and community service — will also coincide with the inaugural PJ Fest, a weeklong event with creator activations and live concerts that will take place in Houston, Miami and Los Angeles, before culminating with the live gala in Spain.
The 2026 Premios Juventud will broadcast live on Sept. 3 via Univision, UNIMÁS, Galavisión and ViX. Tickets to attend in person can be purchased here.
