Shakira could not say goodbye to Madrid in just any way. After turning her residency into one of the biggest musical events of recent months, the Colombian artist is preparing a very special last night for next October 12. Maluma, Beéle, and Dani Martín are already confirmed as guests for a concert that will serve as a grand finale to her time in the capital and in which the door to new surprises remains open.
The event will be Shakira's 13th concert in Madrid as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. The singer had initially planned to end her residency on October 11, but high demand led Live Nation to add a final date, coinciding also with Día de la Hispanidad. The organization has already defined the performance as a "grand farewell with friends," a formula that fits with the number of artists who have graced her stage during these weeks.
And among those friends will be Maluma and Beéle, two names directly linked to Shakira's Latin music. The former will reunite with the Colombian on stage after their collaborations and their recent song 'Agua'. Beéle also joins the party after sharing 'Algo tú' with Shakira. Joining them is a particularly striking addition for the Spanish public: Dani Martín!
The Spanish singer has not previously shared the stage with Shakira. His presence therefore represents an unprecedented encounter between two artists of different generations and styles, although with a prior connection: Martín was already related to the Colombian's tour as an opening act in Barcelona in 2011, during his first solo stage. Now, fifteen years later, both will coincide again on a stage, this time in Madrid and with Shakira putting the finishing touch to her residency.
But if this residency has shown anything, it's that Shakira knows how to keep an ace up her sleeve. The Madrid stage has already seen Alejandro Sanz, Laura Pausini, Manuel Turizo, and Dua Lipa, the latter starring in one of the most unexpected moments by singing Antología with the Colombian, which was also Pausini's big surprise. Therefore, although Maluma, Beéle, and Dani Martín are the announced names, the October 12 concert comes with the promise that there may still be some more surprises.
The last concert of the residency will thus be much more than an added date to the calendar. It will be Shakira's '12+1' in Madrid, a farewell surrounded by friends and collaborators that will put an end to a stage that has brought tens of thousands of people to Macondo Park. Tickets for this last night go on general sale tomorrow, October 7 at 10:00 AM, after the presale, with a last chance to accompany the Colombian artist in her big Madrid farewell.
