Global music icon Shakira is poised to make history as she announces the closing leg of her highly anticipated ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour’ will take place in Madrid, Spain. In an extraordinary development for the music industry, a custom-built, temporary stadium, to be affectionately named the “Shakira Stadium,” is being erected specifically for these landmark shows. This tour, which commenced in February 2025, has traversed multiple continents, and its European finale in Madrid promises to be an event of unprecedented scale and ambition.
A Stadium Built for an Icon
The “Shakira Stadium” will not be a permanent fixture but a bespoke venue designed to host the tour’s concluding concerts, marking a rare and significant moment where an artist commands a space created solely for their performance. Shakira herself expressed immense excitement, stating, “I’m going to go all out because Live Nation is preparing a stadium for these concerts. It’s going to be called the Shakira Stadium”. She further hinted at the magnitude of the production, describing it as “something out of this world, a production that I believe has never been seen before in Spain”. The venue is expected to feature cutting-edge technology in sound, lighting, and screens, with an anticipated capacity for tens of thousands of fans.
Historic Tour and Record-Breaking Performances
The ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour’ has already cemented its place in music history, breaking records for ticket sales and venue achievements. As of January 2026, the tour had amassed over $421.6 million, earning it the Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing tour by a Hispanic artist and positioning it as the fifth highest-grossing tour by a female artist. This Madrid finale is anticipated to be the most ambitious production of Shakira’s career, aiming to surpass all previous performances. The tour’s success includes a recent record-breaking free concert in Mexico City’s Zócalo Square, which drew an estimated 400,000 attendees.
Madrid as a Musical Hub
While the exact dates and number of performances in Madrid are yet to be announced, the decision to host such a significant event in the Spanish capital is expected to bolster Madrid’s status as a premier destination for music tourism in Europe. This marks a significant return to Spain for Shakira, whose last performance in the country was during her El Dorado World Tour in 2018. The artist expressed her deep connection to Spain, noting, “Spain is a country that will always be dear to me. I will always keep it in my heart. I’m looking forward to singing again in Barcelona, the city where my children were born and which has given me so much. To return to Madrid and reunite with my Spanish fans. It will be a special and unforgettable event”.
Looking Ahead
As preparations for the Madrid residency unfold, fans eagerly await further details regarding the concert schedule and ticketing information.
