Colombian superstar Shakira brought her historic European concert residency in Madrid to a close with a final, star-studded performance on October 12, 2026. Held at Macondo Park inside the specially constructed Estadio Shakira, the grand finale concluded a remarkably expanded run that grew from an initial eight dates to a total of 13 sold-out shows, drawing an estimated 700,000 total attendees over the course of the series.
The final performance, strategically aligned with Spain’s National Day (Día de la Hispanidad), gathered roughly 55,000 spectators for what was billed as “The Last Dance.” Throughout the evening, Shakira delivered a high-energy retrospective spanning more than three decades of her career, seamlessly transitioning from upbeat Latin pop and reggaeton anthems to emotional ballads.
A Star-Studded Grand Finale with Special Guests
True to its promise as a celebration among friends, the final night featured a series of high-profile guest appearances that elevated the setlist. Fellow Colombian artist Maluma returned to the stage to join Shakira for the first live performance of their new collaboration “Agua,” alongside a rendition of their massive global hit “Chantaje.” Playfully joking with the crowd, Shakira suggested forming a permanent duo called “Shaluma.”
The night also welcomed Italian singer Laura Pausini, who delivered a powerful duet of “Antología” and praised Shakira as an enduring professional role model for younger generations. Spanish pop-rock icon Dani Martín joined the superstar to perform “Te Dejo Madrid,” while Colombian artist Beéle took the stage for “Algo Tú,” injecting vibrant Caribbean rhythms into the festivities.
The evening reached its emotional and visual climax near the end of the concert. A massive drone display lit up the Madrid sky, first forming the shape of a she-wolf and then a giant “12+1” to mark the final date. Argentine producer Bizarrap then took to the turntables for a closing performance of the record-breaking “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” sending the massive crowd home to a spectacle of fireworks and celebration.
Reflecting on a Historic Milestone
Visibly emotional as she addressed the audience, Shakira reflected on the magnitude of the residency-her first extended run of performances in Spain in eight years. She opened up about navigating personal challenges, including her father’s recent health struggles, and credited her fans with giving her the emotional strength to return to the stage.
“There has been a before and after for me. It’s all felt like a dream, and honestly, I don’t want to leave,” Shakira told the packed stadium. “It’s going to be very, very hard to leave Spain again.”
The residency also established notable production milestones. Organizers reported that over 10,000 production staff members worked to construct and operate Macondo Park and the temporary stadium venue. Additionally, an earlier weekend show in the residency broke global streaming records, becoming Amazon Music’s most-watched livestream ever by a female artist across Prime Video and Twitch.
With Madrid officially in the rearview mirror, Shakira’s ongoing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour continues internationally, with upcoming dates scheduled in Central Asia and North Africa.
