Below is the full lineup of performances for the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards. The list will be updated throughout the ceremony.

• Elvis Crespo & Victor Manuelle Kick Off the Ceremony With Joyous Track Permeire “La Gozadera”

  Against a backdrop of colorful tropical plants, Elvis Crespo and Víctor Manuelle kicked off the ceremony with the joyful premiere of “La Gozadera.” Dressed in white with touches of red, Crespo brought vibrant salsa energy and an unmistakable tropical pulse to the stage, joined by dozens of musicians radiating pure joy.

• Xavi Brings a Tejano-Style “Nadie Te Extraña” to the Stage

  Xavi arrived seated onstage for “Nadie Te Extraña,” surrounded by a red, graffiti-covered set splashed with his name and the song’s title. Wearing a leather vest, glasses and his signature large ruby medallion, he delivered the Tex-Mex-leaning track backed by an accordionist, a tololoche player, guitarist and trumpet player. With his signature unruly hair and the lyric “te quiero, pero de lejos,” Xavi belts, bringing a stylish, playful edge to the performance.

• Nanpa Básico and Nella Find Hope Among the Ruins With Mercedes Sosa’s “Todo Cambia”

  Nanpa Básico and Nella delivered a poignant, bittersweet performance of “Todo Cambia ” — originally sung by Argentine folk legend Mercedes Sosa — framed by images of the devastation caused by earthquakes in Colombia and Venezuela. Nella appeared beside shattered concrete blocks and damaged buildings, dressed in a striking matte gown beneath a rosy sky. Nanpa Básico joined her in a cowboy hat and Western-inspired look, adding a rugged contrast to the song’s tender emotion.

  As the duet unfolded, the stage began to transform. Green plants emerged from the rubble, turning a scene of loss into one of renewal. The performance captured the song’s central message: everything changes, even grief, and hope can grow from the ruins.

• Fuerza Regida Turns “Pues Ya Ni Pedo” Into a Dozen Chuyín-Filled Spectacle

  Fuerza Regida brought a surreal, theatrical showcase to “Pues Ya Ni Pedo,” with Moisés López taking the lead as frontman. The group appeared surrounded by a dozen Chuyíns, including dancers in white straightjackets and towering masked figures swaggering across an asylum-inspired set.

  A tuba and tololoche anchored the música mexicana arrangement as the Chuyíns moved around the stage in coordinated chaos. By the finale, the masked figures removed their oversized heads to reveal Fuerza Regida’s band members underneath, giving the performance its final surprise.
