Overview
- Shakira's team confirmed Wednesday three new shows on October 2–4, bringing the Madrid run to nine dates after strong early presales.
- Promoters will build a temporary Estadio Shakira for about 50,000 people inside a 15-hectare Macondo Park that hosts a 12-hour daily Es Latina program around each concert.
- Ticketing staggers this week with Santander SMusic presales by time slot today, Live Nation presales Thursday, and general sale Friday, with buyer limits and a wide range of prices and VIP packages.
- Spain’s central government delegate asked the mayor not to authorize mass events at Iberdrola Music until access, mobility, and safety issues are fixed, while the regional and city governments say the concerts will be authorized; local groups also warn about traffic and noise.
- Live Nation says the site is suitable, will carry full technical certifications, and will include tailored transport plans, and the organizers have requested permission for up to ten nights that could draw roughly 450,000 attendees to the Villaverde area.
