Grupo Frontera, DY, Kapo & More Join the Lineup for the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards

Billboard and Telemundo announced the second wave of performers on Thursday (Oct. 2) for the highly anticipated 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, set to take place at Miami’s James L. Knight Center on Thursday, Oct. 23.

In a big move, reggaetón legend Daddy Yankee — now going by DY — is stepping out of retirement for a rare performance at the event. Joining him in the newly announced lineup are Tex-Mex band Grupo Frontera, Colombian Afrobeats star Kapo, Spanish singer-songwriter Abraham Mateo, Puerto Rican artist Ángel Lopez and Detroit-born pianist-composer Arthur Hanlon. (Editor’s Note: Hanlon is married to Billboard’s Chief Content Officer, Latin/Espãnol, Leila Cobo.)

These artists will take the stage alongside previously announced performers Venezuelan sensation Danny Ocean, Puerto Rican hitmaker Ozuna, tropical music powerhouse Olga Tañón, Italian icon Laura Pausini and Mexican music legends La Arrolladora Banda El Limón de René Camacho. Pausini will be honored with the prestigious Billboard Icon Award.

Other performers include Afro-Caribbean fusion artist Beéle, Colombian star Juan Duqu, up-and-coming Mexican group Musza, breakout corridos act Netón Vega, genre-blurring newcomer NXNNI and January’s Billboard Latin Artist on the Rise, Óscar Maydon.

The 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards will air live on Telemundo, with streams available on the Telemundo App, Peacock, and Telemundo Internacional across Latin America and the Caribbean. Tickets to the event are now available via Ticketmaster.

The ceremony coincides with Billboard Latin Music Week, which returns to Miami Beach Oct. 20-24 with a roster of star speakers, including Kali Uchis, DY, Xavi, Laura Pausini, Ozuna and more. Get your tickets today for the Billboard Latin Music Week 2025 here.
