The 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards are getting everyone talking. A fresh wave of confirmed artists promises a night packed with great music, strong feelings, and big moments on stage. Fans are especially eager to see international pop superstar Laura Pausini, global reggaeton force Ozuna, innovative Venezuelan singer-songwriter Danny Ocean, and Colombia’s Beéle. Beéle arrives at the event still making headlines after a private video with content creator Isabella Ladera surfaced.
Beéle, who is 21 years old, has managed to turn that stir into a boost for his career. He has become one of Latin music’s newest and most exciting voices. With hits like “Cumbia Pa’ Mí” and a special blend of urban and Caribbean sounds, he will perform at the Billboard Awards. He aims to show that his talent truly defines him, not any past events.
Laura Pausini will not only shine with her musical performance but will also receive the Billboard Icon Award. This honor celebrates her flawless international career and her role as a global pop leader. The 51-year-old Italian artist is set to deliver one of the night’s most heartfelt performances.
Puerto Rico’s Ozuna, a huge name in reggaeton and Latin trap, comes to the awards with a major achievement. His song “Sirenita” hit number one on Latin radio for the 33rd time. On top of that, Ozuna will take on a new role as executive producer for his upcoming biopic, Odisea. This movie will tell his life story and further cement his cultural influence.
Meanwhile, Danny Ocean is having a fantastic year with a sold-out Latin American tour. The 33-year-old Venezuelan artist enters the ceremony as a finalist in three important categories. He is up for Latin Pop Artist of the Year, Soloist, and Latin Pop Song of the Year for “Imagínate,” a duet with Kapo. His album Babylon Club is also a contender for Top Latin Pop Album of the Year. With his fresh style blending pop, urban, and electronic sounds, Danny Ocean is a sure bet to energize the night.
The lineup of confirmed acts also includes well-known artists and new talents bringing their unique flair. Look out for La Arrolladora Banda El Limón de René Camacho, Olga Tañón, Juan Duque, Musza, Netón Vega, NXNNI, and Óscar Maydon. This wide range of genres, from regional Mexican music to pop and reggaeton, shows just how powerful and changing Latin music is in 2025.
This year’s awards event happens during Billboard Latin Music Week. The week-long celebration will be in Miami from October 20 to 24. It will feature special performances, industry talks, and fan experiences. The awards gala will serve as the grand finale.
