Shakira returns to Spain with historic European residency on ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour’

Today, GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Shakira announced her return to Europe with a historic three-night residency in Spain as part of her record-breaking Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. The limited engagement will take place September 25, 26, and 27, 2026, at Madrid’s newly built Shakira Stadium, marking her first performances in the country in eight years since her El Dorado World Tour.

This announcement adds to a remarkable moment for the global superstar, who was recently nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Since launching in February 2025, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has shattered records worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing tour ever by a hispanic artist.

Produced by Live Nation Spain, the European residency will take place at Shakira Stadium, a large-scale temporary venue integrated into Iberdrola Music with capacity for more than 50,000 fans per night. Designed by renowned architecture firm BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), the immersive space which was the one utilized by Adele during her residency in Germany, will feature full visibility, cutting-edge acoustics, and premium fan experiences, introducing an international residency format to Spain for the first time.

Conceived as more than a concert, the residency will transform the site into an immersive cultural destination — an ephemeral city within Madrid where music, art, and community come together across three historic nights. The residency will celebrate shared cultural roots and highlight Madrid as a global stage for diverse voices. During the Shakira stadium residency, Madrid will host a wide range of activities: concerts, exhibitions, talks, workshops, film, gastronomy, literature, and shared cultural experiences — all curated by Shakira under the name Es Latina. The Latin Nation is not a geographic territory. It is a transnational community united by language, rhythm, creativity, resilience, and joy.

Ahead of the European residency, Shakira will continue the global expansion of her 2026 tour with a previously announced performance in Brazil this spring. She will headline the highly anticipated Todo Mundo No Rio concert on Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Copacabana Beach on May 2.

The announcement follows Shakira’s historic close to the Mexico leg of the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, where she drew 400,000 fans to a free concert at Mexico City’s Zócalo on March 1 — the largest crowd ever recorded in the city’s main public square, according to officials. The milestone performance came just days after she completed a record-setting 13-show run at Estadio GNP Seguros, becoming the artist with the most performances at the venue on a single tour and selling more than 800,000 tickets across those dates. The final night featured an appearance from special guest Beéle, whom Shakira recently released the single “ALGO TÚ” with, further expanding this new chapter of her career. Listen HERE.
