From Kany García to Grupo Frontera: The Week Kicks Off
Monday, October 19 will open with conversations about the worldwide growth of Spanish-language music and the increasingly important role independent artists and companies are playing in that expansion.
One of the day’s highlights will be a Superstar Q&A with Kany García, where the singer-songwriter will discuss the stories behind her songs, her inspiration and her creative process.
Grupo Frontera will also take center stage for a conversation about creativity and expansion, while Trueno, Kidd Voodoo and Quevedo will discuss the new wave of urban music.
Legendary music executive Tommy Mottola will also deliver a keynote focused on the global growth of Latin music.
That evening, SANTOS BRAVOS will take part in an intimate conversation and performance at the Faena Theater, while the official opening night celebration will feature Ela Taubert, Erick Brian, Kidd Voodoo, Kristina and Lorna, among other artists.
Fuerza Regida and the Women Taking Latin Music Around the World
Tuesday, October 20 will feature one of the panels expected to generate plenty of conversation: “Women: Global Rise,” bringing together Ana Mena, Aria Vega, Greeicy, Lali, Lola Indigo and RaiNao to discuss the growing international reach of women in Latin music.
The new generation of Mexican music will also be represented by Clave Especial, Edgardo Núñez, Emmanuel Cortés and Hermanos Espinoza.
Meanwhile, the Cuban reparto movement will take the spotlight with Bebeshito, DJ Conds, Helabusador & Rey Tony and Wow Popy.
One of the day’s most anticipated moments will be the Superstar Q&A with Fuerza Regida.
The group will also headline Billboard En Vivo: One Night Only that evening, an exclusive performance at the Faena Theater for registered Latin Music Week attendees.
Maluma, Pitbull and the Power of Nostalgia
Wednesday, October 21 promises to be another major day on the schedule.
Mau y Ricky and Carlos Rivera will take part in a conversation exploring the many faces of today’s Latin pop, while Maluma will participate in two special events.
The Colombian superstar will join an intimate conversation about mental health as part of Like Minded, presented by BetterHelp, before taking center stage for the Sony Music Publishing: Icon Q&A.
There will also be room to explore the power of nostalgia and its connection to new generations. Mar Solís, Emir Pabón of Grupo Cañaveral and members of Grupo Niche, among other guests, will discuss why sounds and influences from previous eras are once again resonating with today’s audiences.
And when it comes to personal stories, Jay Wheeler and Zhamira, along with Jessi Uribe and Paola Jara, will sit down for an honest conversation about two worlds they know very well: love and music.
Closing out the daytime programming, Pitbull will headline a Superstar Q&A focused on his history and success on the Billboard charts.
Jay Wheeler, Zhamira and Conep Take Over the Night
Wednesday will also introduce one of this year’s new experiences: Billboard x Eater El Pre-Party, a celebration combining music, food and culture ahead of the evening’s live programming.
Afterward, Jay Wheeler and Zhamira will take the stage for Billboard En Vivo, with Conep joining them as a special guest.
A Week Reflecting Latin Music’s Global Moment
Beyond the superstar names, Billboard Latin Music Week 2026 will tackle some of the biggest topics transforming today’s music industry, including artificial intelligence, independent music, viral success, building global fan communities, new business models, mental health, tropical music, urban music, regional Mexican music and the international growth of Latin pop.
“Latin music has never been more global, richer, more diverse or more widely listened to than it is today,” said Leila Cobo, Billboard’s Co-Chief Content Officer, during the programming announcement.
That growth will serve as the central theme of an edition Billboard has dubbed “Global Consolidation.”
And After Latin Music Week… The Billboard Latin Music Awards
The week will culminate on Thursday, October 22, with the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards, taking place in Miami and airing live on Telemundo and Peacock.
For four days, Miami will not only welcome some of Latin music’s biggest stars—it will also become a meeting place for artists, executives, creators and emerging generations to discuss where an industry that continues to break borders is headed next.
Billboard Latin Music Week 2026 will take place October 19–22 at the Faena Forum Miami Beach. Tickets are now available through the official Billboard Latin Music Week website.
