Tito Double P, Ozuna and Xavi lead first performers for 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards

Tito Double P, Ozuna, Xavi and Manuel Turizo are among the first 12 performers confirmed for the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards on 22 October.

Billboard and Telemundo announced the first wave of performers on 24 September, with just under a month to go until show night. The list also includes Carlos Rivera, Chuyin, Kapo, Melymel, Pablo Alborán, RIZA, Víctor Manuelle and Yahritza y Su Esencia, according to Billboard.

Tito Double P will pull double duty. He is performing and arrives as one of the most-nominated finalists of the year.

The night has its hosts. Carmen Villalobos and Javier Poza return as co-hosts for this year’s ceremony.

The show will broadcast live from the James L. Knight Center in Downtown Miami. Viewers in the United States can watch on Telemundo and Peacock, with the broadcast also available on Universo and the Telemundo app. Audiences across Latin America and the Caribbean can follow via Telemundo Internacional.

The finalists are led by Peso Pluma, who has 17 entries this year. Tito Double P follows with 15 finalist mentions, with Fuerza Regida and Karol G also among the leading finalists, as previously announced on the finalists list.

Those entries are spread across 47 categories. The awards are organised around four broad fields: Latin pop, tropical, Latin rhythm and regional Mexican.

The awards cap a week of industry events. Billboard Latin Music Week will run from 19 to 21 October at the Faena Forum in Miami Beach, bringing panels, showcases and networking ahead of the ceremony.

For fans, this means the performance line-up will keep growing. More names are expected before 22 October, alongside presenters and special segments.
