Shakira’s Madrid residency is set to become one of the most ambitious live music events of the year. For her final stop on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, the Colombian superstar will perform 12 concerts at a custom-built venue that will be called Macondo Park. Fans will step into a temporary city inspired by her music, culture, and creative vision.
The idea is for Shakira fans not just to attend a concert, but to spend hours immersed in an environment that combines music, art, literature, cuisine, and interactive experiences before Shakira takes the stage.
12 concerts in a city built for Shakira
The 49-year-old singer will perform in Madrid on September 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, and 27, followed by October 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11, bringing her world tour to a close.
The temporary venue has been designed by internationally renowned architecture firm BIG–Bjarke Ingels Group, whose vision includes lush landscaping, vibrant colors, palm trees, and colorful walkways connecting a series of themed pavilions.

The temporary city will revolve around eight distinct spaces celebrating different aspects of the singer’s career and Latin culture:
- Shakira’s Creative Universe: A museum-style exhibition featuring iconic stage costumes, memorabilia, and highlights from her career.
