Melendi Joins the Ring of Stars at Ibai Llanos’ Epic Night
So, have you heard about La Velada del Año 5 ? It’s this massive crossover event where the digital world meets real-life punches and insane live music. Created by none other than Ibai Llanos — yes, that Ibai, the Spanish streamer-turned-event-mastermind — this yearly spectacle has become the place where influencers box like pros and stars perform on stage as if it’s a full-blown music festival. And this year? It’s bigger than ever — and Melendi’s going to be there!
Held at the iconic La Cartuja Stadium in Sevilla, this fifth edition has completely sold out. We’re talking about 80,000 fans packed into one place and millions more watching online on Twitch. It’s not just some side-show anymore; this has turned into a cultural event, with boxing matches, cutting-edge camera work, pyrotechnics, and high-energy performances. The whole thing is being streamed with 36 cameras and tech normally seen in LaLiga broadcasts — so yeah, it’s a big deal.

And let’s talk about Melendi — the legendary Spanish singer-songwriter known for his raspy voice and heartfelt lyrics. He’s on the artist lineup, right between De La Rose and Aitana. That’s no small slot. His performance is part of a show that includes Myke Towers, Grupo Frontera, Los del Río (yes, the "Macarena" legends), and Eladio Carrión. Basically, you’ve got a stage lineup that could sell out a festival on its own.
What’s extra exciting is how the show has evolved. Just a few years ago in 2021, it started out in a club in Barcelona. Now, it’s so big it had to move to stadiums, and they’re even adjusting for the heat in Sevilla — which, let’s be honest, can be brutal. We’re talking misting fans, hydration stations, shade zones, and even moving the whole event to a nighttime schedule.
Of course, the night isn’t just about the music. There’s the main event in the ring — TheGrefg vs. Westcol — plus six more fights, all between content creators from platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Instagram. These folks have been training for months, and it's not just for show — some of these matchups are genuinely intense.
And after every match? A musical performance keeps the energy pumping. Imagine going from a knockout punch to Melendi serenading a stadium. It’s pure spectacle — part boxing, part concert, all chaos in the best way.
So whether you’re there for the fights, the music, or just to see what happens when a streamer turns into a showrunner, La Velada del Año 5 is something you don’t want to miss. Melendi’s presence just seals the deal — this isn’t just entertainment, it’s a movement.
