As well as Eurovision 2022 acts, a wave of Benidorm Fest 2022 acts have also been invited to perform at Madrid’s Pre-Party ES. The latest name to be added to the list is Luna Ki. Luna Ki was supposed to participate in 2022’s Benidorm Fest, however, withdrew when it was announced their song “Voy a morir” did not fall within the EBU’s rules for song selection. This was due to the amount of autotune on the track.

Spain’s Eurovision Journey
Spain debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1961 with Conchita Bautista’s “Estando Contigo” and the country earned its first win in 1968 with Massiel’s “La La La”. They then earned their second consecutive win in 1969 with Salome’s “Vivo Cantando” in an infamous four-way tie. Although they have yet to win again, Spain earned several 2nd place finishes, including Mocedades’ “Eres tu” in 1973 and Anabel Conde’s “Vuelve conmigo” in 1996.
However, Spain has been less successful in recent years. Although they achieved two 10th place finishes in 2012 and 2014, the country has not finished above 20th place since 2015. This includes one last-place finish in 2017. Unfortunately, this trend continued in 2021, with Blas Canto finishing in 24th place at the 2021 contest with 6 points.
