Billboard also lists Luis Figueroa, Fonseca and Grupo Frontera among the acts set to perform at the gala.
The first lineup, announced on Oct. 20, included Anitta, Banda Los Recoditos, Daddy Yankee, Jorge Drexler, Silvana Estrada, Kany García, Juanes, Carín León and Mon Laferte. Rosalía is also set to perform, according to Rolling Stone.
The show has a few other headline threads. Daddy Yankee has been named the 2026 Latin Grammy Person of the Year, an honour the academy gives to an artist for a body of work and influence on Latin music. Rolling Stone reported that naming on Oct. 20.
Edgar Barrera leads this year's nominees with 10 nominations, including record of the year, album of the year and song of the year. Those three are the top categories, covering a single recording, a full album and a song's writing. Barrera will also produce the tribute to José Alfredo Jiménez, the Mexican songwriter, marking 100 years since his birth.
The academy is also holding a Latin Grammy Premiere ceremony before the broadcast. It is not televised, and it will announce most of the winners ahead of the main show. Viewers who want the results as they happen will need to watch the telecast itself.
The main broadcast starts at 8 p.m. ET and PT on Nov. 12, and it will stream on TelevisaUnivision platforms in the United States. TelevisaUnivision is a Spanish-language broadcaster and streaming company, and the Latin Grammys are its annual showcase for Latin music from across the Americas and Spain.
For anyone new to the awards, the nominations are chosen by the academy's voting members. Winners are decided by the same members, and the Premiere ceremony is where most of them will be read out first.
