The reggaeton star teases a “very special surprise” during the ceremony.
The Latin Grammys are almost here — and two major stars will be leading the night. Rolling Stone can exclusively reveal that Maluma and Roselyn Sánchez will host the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards ceremony this year, marking Maluma’s first time as host at the ceremony.
“Being at the Latin Grammys and now having the opportunity to be the official host is an honor I can’t put into words,” Maluma tells Rolling Stone in a statement. “It’s a challenge I accept with humility and gratitude, and I want to share with all of you that during the night, I have a very special surprise that I know will excite you.”
He adds, “Thank you to the Academy for trusting me with this truly important moment in my career. Let’s go all out!”
Alongside Maluma will be Latin Grammy host veteran Sánchez, who has hosted the awards show seven times before, including most recently in 2023.
So far, the Latin Grammys have announced Kacey Musgraves, Rauw Alejandro, Carlos Santana, Grupo Frontera, Christian Nodal, and Edgar Barrera as performers for the night. They join previously announced guests Pepe Aguilar, Gloria Estefan, Los Tigres Del Norte, Carín León, and 2025 Person of the Year Raphael.
This year’s awards show is scheduled for November 13 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It will be telecast on TelevisaUnivision’s platforms starting at 8 p.m. ET/PT, with a pre-show beginning an hour prior. While he has yet to be announced as an attendee or performer, Bad Bunny leads this year’s list of nominations with a total of 12 nods, thanks to Debí Tirar Más Fotos.
