- On Friday, Colombian superstar Shakira launches a marathon twelve-concert run in Madrid at a temporary 50,000-seater venue through October 11, ending both her world tour and an eight-year absence from Spain.
- Shakira's tour launched in February 2025 promoting 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,' a Grammy-winning album, marking her first Spanish performances since 2018 following her 2022 separation from Barcelona defender Gerard Pique.
- Across her decades-long career, Shakira has sold more than 95 million records worldwide and performed at both the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony and final. Her hit 'Waka Waka ' was the official 2010 World Cup song in South Africa.
- With no additional European dates announced, Madrid authorities expect significant economic impact from the series, following Shakira's November 2023 settlement with Spanish courts where she paid a 7.3-million-euro fine to avoid tax fraud trial.
- The temporary 'Shakira stadium' operating through October 11 positions Madrid as a premier Latin music destination, building on Bad Bunny's ten-concert run in May and June that demonstrated major economic potential.
