Rosalía, Daddy Yankee and Silvana Estrada are part of the first group of artists set to perform at the Latin Grammy 2026. The Latin Recording Academy announced the performances for the November 12 ceremony at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, with a lineup bringing together pop, reggaeton, Mexican music and singer-songwriter music.
Carín León, Vivir Quintana, Banda Los Recoditos and Xavi will also perform. Their names appear alongside those of Anitta, Jorge Drexler, Kany García, Juanes, Mon Laferte, Rawayana and Elena Rose. This is the first announcement of performers, not a final lineup.
Nominees who will also take the stage
Several of the performances will feature artists who are also competing for awards. Rosalía comes in with seven nominations connected to her album Lux, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year. Jorge Drexler also has seven nominations and is among the performers confirmed for the evening.
Juanes and Vivir Quintana are nominated for Song of the Year, and both will take part in the show. The fact that both appear on the performer list does not confirm a joint performance: the announcement includes them as guest artists without saying they will share the stage.
Daddy Yankee will have a dual presence at this edition: in addition to performing, he is the artist being honored as the 2026 Person of the Year by the Latin Recording Academy. His participation adds reggaeton to a list that also brings together figures from alternative music and regional Mexican music.
Roselyn Sánchez will return as host for the tenth time. Univision has announced that it will broadcast the ceremony on November 12; that information applies to the broadcaster named in the announcement and does not, by itself, confirm an option to watch it from Mexico.
