Global superstar Shakira is officially returning to Europe in 2026, unveiling a landmark three-night residency in Madrid as part of her record-breaking Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour.
Set to take place on September 25, 26, and 27, 2026, the shows will be held at the newly built Shakira Stadium in Spain’s capital—marking her first performances in the country in eight years since the El Dorado World Tour.
A New Era of Global Touring
Since launching in February 2025, Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has become a cultural and commercial phenomenon, officially the highest-grossing tour ever by a Hispanic artist.
The announcement of her Madrid residency comes amid another major milestone: her recent nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, cementing her legacy as one of the most influential artists of her generation.

More Than a Concert: “Es Latina”
Shakira’s Madrid residency is being positioned as a multi-day cultural experience, not just a concert series.
