Shakira’s Madrid residency kicks off with twelve live shows.

A sprawling cultural park surrounds the stage

During a press conference on Friday, July 24, Live Nation Spain president Pino Sagliocco and BIG architect Joao Alburquerque unveiled a temporary complex that will sit next to the so‑called “Shakira Stadium.” The site covers 185,000 square metres – roughly 4.2 acres – and is designed to feel like a tree, with each branch leading to a different cultural experience.

“It’s built like a tree where each branch leads to a different cultural experience, and all converge at Macondo Park,”

— Joao Alburquerque, Architect, BIG

At the heart of the venue is Macondo Park, a space that will host eight pavilions dedicated to music, gastronomy, literature, art, fashion and other expressions of Latin culture. Visitors can wander the pavilions from noon to midnight, enjoying programming that will be announced and updated throughout the residency.

Dates, tickets and VIP experiences

The concert series runs on September 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28 and October 1, 2, 3, with shows slated for 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Each ticket includes full access to the park’s activities, while two VIP tiers – Garden and Terrace – will go on sale on Monday, July 27. Prices range from 500 to 720 euros, granting early entry, a Front Stage pass and a private lounge for food and drinks.

Terrace ticket holders also enjoy a panoramic area that overlooks both the stage and the surrounding park, adding an extra visual dimension to the concert experience.

“We want people to arrive early, explore the pavilions, eat and fully immerse themselves in the experience before and after the show,”

— Pino Sagliocco, President, Live Nation Spain

Community and educational outreach

Sagliocco hinted that organizers may open Macondo Park Monday through Thursday for school visits and educational activities focused on Latin American culture, extending the venue’s reach beyond concert‑goers.

The residency follows the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour’s second phase in the United States, where the show is now playing arena dates, underscoring Shakira’s continued global momentum.
