Shakira kicks off the 2026 dates of her world tour with a six-show Madrid residency at the custom-built Shakira Stadium, specially built for the event.

Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira has already announced three additional dates for her historic Spain residency, almost before the initial dates were even revealed. The limited series of shows takes place on September 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, and 27 at the Shakira Stadium in Madrid, specially built for the residency. The run marks her first return to the country in eight years.

Tickets for the September 18, 19, and 20 shows will go on sale Friday, March 27, at 12 PM, while tickets for the September 25, 26, and 27 shows will go on sale two hours earlier, at 10 AM. Fans who registered on Shakira’s website before Sunday, March 22, at 10 PM will have access to an initial presale for all six dates starting on Tuesday, March 24, at 10 AM (for the September 25, 26, and 27 shows) and at 12 PM (for the September 18, 19, and 20 shows).

An SMusic presale will be available starting Wednesday, March 25, at 10 AM (for the September 25, 26, and 27 shows) and at 12 PM (for the September 18, 19, and 20 shows), while those registered on Live Nation will be able to purchase tickets ahead of the general on-sale on Thursday, March 26, at 10 AM (for the later dates) and 12 PM (for the earlier dates).

Produced by Live Nation Spain, the European residency will take place at Shakira Stadium, a temporary venue integrated within Iberdrola Music, with a capacity of over 50,000 per night. Designed by architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group, it promises full visibility, state-of-the-art acoustics, and premium fan experiences.

The residency will transform the venue into an immersive cultural destination, “a parallel city within Madrid where music, art, and community will come together over [six] historic nights.” During the residency, the city will host a variety of activities: concerts, exhibitions, talks, workshops, film, gastronomy, literature, and shared cultural experiences under the name “Es Latina.”

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

The news also follows her 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.
