Los40: The Best and Worst Dressed in the Red Carpet of the 'It' Music Awards in Spain

The Spanish city of Valencia made history on November 7, 2025, as the host of the 20th edition of the LOS40 Music Awards Santander. For the first time, the gala took place at the brand-new Roig Arena, and the artists who walked the red carpet dressed for the occasion, starting with the woman of the night: Spanish singer and songwriter Rosalía.

The move from Madrid to Valencia marks a major shift for Spain's most influential music awards. The Roig Arena, designed to host large-scale concerts and sports events, brings a modern look and state-of-the-art technology to the show. The event is being streamed streamed internationally so that fans from Spain, Latin America and the United States can experience the performances live here.

The theme for this edition, "Music takes us where we are needed most," adds a humanitarian tone, honoring communities affected by recent storms in eastern Spain. The fashion has been on point, with sand and black soon becoming the colors of the night, as in the dresses of Aitana, Emilia Mernes and Anabel Pantoja.

Rosalía Returns as the Queen of the Night

All eyes are on Rosalía, who will premiere her new album LUX on stage during the broadcast. The Catalan superstar is expected to deliver one of the night's most anticipated performances, blending flamenco, orchestral elements and avant-pop visuals. Her appearance marks a homecoming and a statement: Spain's most daring artist continues to redefine what global pop can sound like.

Rosalía leads the wave of Spanish talent joined by Aitana, Dani Fernández and Lola Índigo, who each received multiple nominations. On the international front, Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa and Leon Thomas are among the top contenders. The Latin category is dominated by Feid, Karol G, Rauw Alejandro, Morat, Emilia and Nicky Jam, underscoring the growing influence of Latin music on global charts.

A Celebration of Unity and Sound

The LOS40 Music Awards Santander 2025 celebrate the connection between audiences who listen in different languages but dance to the same rhythm. For Valencia, hosting the event signals a new chapter in Spanish entertainment, where art, diversity and technology meet on one stage.

Tickets for the show sold out in record time, and millions of fans are expected to tune in worldwide. As lights rise over the Roig Arena, the message of the night is clear: music transcends borders, and the sound of today speaks Spanish.
