Benidorm Fest 2024: Nebulossa remains favorite after Miss Caffeína surprise
The opening edition of Benidorm Fest 2024 was marked by a mix of performances that resonated across the audience, yet also sparked a wave of public chatter on social media about audio glitches. TVE acknowledged the technical hiccup in a morning press briefing, explaining that the issue stemmed from a transmission fault rather than a lack of talent on stage. The team emphasized that the sound delivered to the mobile unit was clear and high quality, while the disturbance appeared during the broadcast path. This distinction helped clarify that the on-air interference did not reflect the actual performance quality. The incident was framed as a temporary challenge tied to the broadcast chain rather than a failure of the event itself.
Officials noted that the Palau complex captured the live sound accurately, and the discrepancy occurred later in the transmission chain. The communications team highlighted that the material produced on stage met the expected standards, and the problem lay in the post-production or distribution phase. As mitigation, teams are reviewing the pipeline from soundboard to screen, with a goal of eliminating any residual distortion that could affect how viewers perceive the performances. In short, the raw material remained strong even as the broadcast experienced a momentary interruption in fidelity.

The event showcased a strong mix of artists, and the crowd’s reaction to Miss Caffeína’s surprise appearance added to the festival’s momentum. Even with the audio setback, the overall reception pointed to a clear signal: Nebulossa continues to hold a lead among the contenders. Analysts and fans alike credited the overall production value, the diversity of acts, and the on-stage charisma as factors sustaining Nebulossa’s position at the front of the pack. The incident did little to dampen the anticipation around future rounds and the eventual winner.
The communications director for the public network stressed that the organization is committed to transparency about what happened and to implementing concrete steps to prevent repetition. The team is actively coordinating with the technical crew to refine sound management across different emission stages and to ensure that future broadcasts maintain consistent fidelity from Palau to home screens. The takeaway is simple: the show’s quality is solid, and ongoing adjustments will further optimize the viewing experience for fans in Canada, the United States, and beyond.

The conversation around lyric content has long been part of the broadcast discourse, and this edition intensified questions about how stage language translates to international audiences. Officials noted that a brighter room sound in the Palau pit was achieved, and there is ongoing scrutiny of whether this improved acoustics could influence how the audience perceives the broadcast. The team is examining every link in the chain to determine where ambient sound might be amplified beyond intended levels and whether earlier stages in the process contribute to the observed distortions.
What remains clear is a commitment to high-quality sound that accurately represents each performance. The team stated that once the pinpoint of the issue is identified, corrective measures will be implemented promptly. The overall production so far has demonstrated the capability to deliver a well-mixed, professional soundscape, with improvements already in place to mitigate any future instances of excessive ambient noise. As the festival progresses, organizers will balance artistic expression with the practical needs of broadcast integrity, ensuring fans in North America and overseas receive a faithful listening experience while preserving the event’s creative energy.
