Tony Grox and Lucycalys have emerged as the winners of the 2026 edition of the Benidorm Fest, a key music festival in Spain. Lucycalys, at just 19 years old, expressed her surprise at the public's affection despite not expecting to win. The duo brought home two awards with their song 'T AMARÉ', showcasing their strong connection and collaboration that was described as 'totally organic'.

Lucycalys, whose real name is Lucía Sánchez, explained that it was a friend's encouragement that prompted her return to music after a brief hiatus. Though she previously participated in the reality show 'Operación Triunfo 2025', she did not make it through the auditions, but her chance to collaborate with DJ Tony Grox arose from their mutual friends and artistic similarities. Their distinct styles harmonized well to create a successful performer partnership.

In addition to the winners' announcement, RTVE has revealed plans for another edition of the Benidorm Fest in 2027, regardless of whether they return to Eurovision. This commitment to the festival further showcases Spain's dedication to promoting music and emerging talent as well as its cultural significance in the wider landscape of European music festivals.
