Shakira, 49, Kicks Off Her 12-Night European Residency in Spain

The 49-year-old singer performs until Oct. 11 in a temporary venue built for 50,000 spectators, according to Live Nation.

  • On Friday, Colombian singer Shakira returned to Spain after eight years, performing for 55,000 fans at the temporary Shakira Stadium in Madrid. The concert launched her 12-date residency, marking a significant homecoming for the global superstar.
  • Inspired by her separation from former Barcelona defender Gerard Piquē, the artist embarked on this world tour in February 2025. The project earned her a fourth Grammy Award, fueling her return to Spanish stages.
  • Showcasing her Lebanese roots, Shakira transitioned through decades of music, dedicating songs to children Milan and Sasha. She performed "Dai Dai," the 2026 FIFA World Cup official song, unleashing one of the night's most electrifying moments.
  • While the opening night lacked surprise guests, fans remain hopeful for future appearances during the 11 remaining dates. The 50,000-capacity venue offers a unique experience for local audiences throughout the residency.
  • Following ten concerts by Bad Bunny in May and June, Madrid authorities expect major economic impact from Shakira's residency. The singer's return reaffirms her status, having sold more than 95 million records over her multi-decade career.
