Just like last year, the festival will be divided into two televised semifinals each with nine performancesand a final, which will be decided by the jury and the spectators. The first semifinal will be on January 31, and the second on February 2. The final, which will decide who will represent Spain in Liverpool, will take place on Saturday, February 4.
On Friday, there will be a free concert featuring Soraya Arnelas, Marta Sango, Gonzalo Hermida, Ronela and WRS, Romania’s representative at the last Eurovision Song Contest at the Tecnohito in Benidorm. On Tuesday and Thursday there will be screens to watch the semifinals and the final in different parts of the city of Alicante.
