La Valada del Año 5, the most anticipated event in the Twitch streaming platform universe and the jewel in the crown of streamer Ibai Llanos, takes place this Saturday, July 26, in Spain.
The night, which mixes boxing matches between content creators with a musical show that has nothing to envy Coachella, takes place at the La Cartuja stadium in Seville , with more than 85 thousand people ready to scream, sing and record until they run out of battery during the long hours of The Evening of the Year, which is now in its fifth edition.
Here's everything you need to know:
THE FIGHTS
This year, there are seven confirmed fights , and the format is once again the classic one: one versus the other until the main event. All the fights are between influencers who spent months training with real boxing champions, and yes, they take it seriously.
- Peereira7 vs. Rivaldios: Galicia versus Mexico. A heated rivalry from the announcement, including insults. This will be the fight that lights up the night.
- Alana vs. Ari Geli: TikTok vs. Twitch. Two women with style, energy, and thousands of followers. The fight promises speed, technique, and drama.
- Perxitaa vs. Gaspi: Spain vs. Argentina. A battle of charisma, humor, and South American blood. The crowd adores them.
- Abby vs. RoRo Bueno: Influencers who have publicly sparred and now will settle it head-to-head. Let's see who gets the last follow!
- ViruZz vs. Tomás Mazza: The level is raised here. Without a helmet and with semi-professional rules. Hard hits and refined technique. Not for the faint of heart.
- Andoni vs. Carlos Belcast: Chiseled bodies and muscles everywhere. It'll be like watching two superheroes on TikTok who decide to settle their differences without filters.
- TheGrefg vs. Westcol: The main event. The Spaniard and the Colombian have history, huge fanbases, and a desire to put on a show. A close call... or a knockout.
THE ARTISTS
Ibai knows that an evening is nothing without good music. And that's why he's put together a killer lineup of artists that will get even the biggest haters dancing. This is the part where you get ready to scream (and upload stories like there's no tomorrow):
- Myke Towers : Smooth, catchy reggaeton. The Puerto Rican comes with a guaranteed flow and hits.
- Grupo Frontera : Cumbia, accordions, and all the flavor of the north. They'll make you want to grab a partner and dance in your boots.
- Eladio Carrión : Melodic trap and stylish bars. One of the strongest in the genre.
- De La Rose : Emerging talent with intense lyrics and a powerful presence. Save his name.
- Melendi : The Spanish classic that moves even those who say they no longer listen to ballads.
- Aitana : Sophisticated pop, impeccable looks, and thousands of fans. Will there be a musical surprise on stage? Everything points to yes.
- Los del Río : Yes, those from Macarena . No joke. A nostalgic and viral ending guaranteed.
SCHEDULES AND HOW TO WATCH IT
Everything starts at 3:30 pm Spain time (9:30 am in Mexico / 10:30 am in Colombia and Peru / 11:30 am in Miami and Venezuela / 12:30 pm in Argentina and Chile) .
The broadcast will be live and completely free on Ibai's official Twitch channel . There will be a red carpet, pre-match interviews, music, fights, and probably the occasional viral Ibai speech featuring tears, hugs, and broken records.
The event is expected to run until 3:00 a.m. So be prepared with snacks, a power bank, and air conditioning if you're in the Latin American summer.
WHAT IF YOU'RE IN SEVILLE?
La Cartuja is ready to welcome thousands of people. There will be free hydration, shaded areas, and organization to prevent heat exhaustion. Seville is unforgiving in July, so if you have tickets (which sold out in record time), bring a fan, a cap, and lots of patience.
By the way, the technical deployment is serious: more than 35 cameras, cranes, a skycam, and a production that even the Latin Grammys would envision.
RECORDS AT PLAY
Last year's edition broke the internet: more than 3.8 million simultaneous viewers on Twitch and 25 million hours watched. This year, they're aiming to surpass 4 million live viewers , and if anyone can do it, it's Ibai. With a more international cast than ever, and the thrill of seeing Grefg and Westcol go all out, the night looks set to go down in history.
