During 2025 and a significant part of 2024, a somewhat worrying trend has emerged for fans of content creation, especially live streaming. Streamers in the Spanish-speaking community, such as Auronplay, Rubius, and Xokas and Rivers, have reduced their live streaming hours on Twitch by more than 20%. However, the most notable case is that of Ibai Llanos, the largest content creator in Spain, who has decided to take a step back from Twitch, the platform that made him famous.
This decision shouldn’t come as a surprise, as Ibai himself has been open about his new life and priorities. He needed to move away from Twitch to focus on other projects that bring him more excitement, such as YouTube, which has become his top priority. Additionally, Ibai wants to spend more time on important things in life, like his family, friends, and himself, which he had neglected in the past. It wasn’t until he underwent a physical transformation that he realized the importance of balance in his life.
The Evening of the Year 5 Could Be Based in Seville
Fans of Ibai don’t have to worry, though, as he won’t be disappearing from social networks. Although he’s not regularly streaming on Twitch, he will still appear on other channels, such as Knekro, and will broadcast again on his own channel at some point. Moreover, despite the changes in his life, some things will remain the same, like his big projects, including the Evening of the Year, which will return for the fifth consecutive year.
Ibai’s relevance in the streaming world may have decreased due to his reduced activity, but he will always have the weight of the Evening of the Year behind him. Every year, people expect the event to be a significant part of internet history, and Ibai has never disappointed. The previous edition, which filled the Santiago Bernabéu stadium and featured names like Will Smith, David Bisbal, and Julieta Venegas, is a testament to the event’s success.
Currently, we know very little about the fifth edition of the Evening of the Year, except that it will take place. However, rumors have been circulating about possible locations, stadiums, and dates. One such rumor, published by content creator Javi Oliveira, claims that the event will be held in Seville, specifically at the Olympic Stadium of La Cartuja, at the end of July. While this information makes sense, we will have to wait for official announcements to confirm whether or not Javi is correct. It’s expected that we’ll get more information around mid-March, when the presentation of the Evening of the Year 5 is scheduled to take place.
