Global superstar Shakira has announced yet another major extension to her highly successful concert residency in the Spanish capital, adding a brand-new performance date that will push her total number of shows in Madrid to an unprecedented 13.
The announcement, made on Monday, October 5, details a brand-new concert scheduled for October 12. This additional date will take place just one day after what was initially designated as the final performance of her extended stay in Spain, ensuring a blockbuster conclusion to a historic run of shows.
Dubbed El Último Baile—which translates to "The Last Dance"—the newly added performance carries profound cultural significance. The grand finale is set to take place on Spain’s official Hispanic Day, a national holiday where Latin culture, heritage, and shared artistic ties will serve as the core theme of the evening. Organizers have framed the final night as a "grand farewell with friends," though specific details regarding which guest artists might share the stage with the Colombian icon remain tightly under wraps. Further announcements regarding the star-studded conclusion are expected to be unveiled during a press conference in Madrid led by Pino Sagliocco, the president of Live Nation Spain.
According to event organizers, the decision to add a thirteenth date to the residency stems directly from the overwhelming public demand for tickets. The residency officially kicked off on September 18 at the Shakira Stadium, a massive temporary open-air venue constructed specifically for the concert series within the Iberdrola Music complex. These monumental performances form a central pillar of Shakira’s ongoing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which has continued to shatter records and draw massive international crowds.
The news of the extension follows closely on the heels of Shakira completing her third consecutive weekend of triumphant performances in Madrid, a run that has dominated entertainment headlines across Europe and Latin America. Reflecting on the emotional and commercial success of the weekend, the singer took to her official social media channels on Monday to share her gratitude with her fanbase.
"What an incredible weekend, three nights full of emotion! Packed to the brim! An unbeatable audience every night," Shakira wrote in a celebratory post to her followers.
The momentum surrounding the residency reached a fever pitch over the weekend when her Saturday, October 3 performance was broadcast live globally via Amazon Music. The livestream quickly captured historic metrics, officially becoming the most-watched livestream concert by a female artist on the platform to date, further cementing her enduring digital dominance and global star power.
For fans hoping to secure a spot at the newly announced October 12 grand finale, tickets will become available through a carefully staged rollout. A dedicated presale for Santander Music customers is scheduled to kick off on Tuesday, October 6, at 3 p.m. local time. Following the exclusive customer window, general ticket sales will open to the public on Wednesday, October 7, at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets can be purchased through official authorized ticketing partners, including Live Nation, Ticketmaster, and El Corte Inglés.
Throughout the course of her sprawling Madrid residency, Shakira has consistently surprised audiences by inviting an array of high-profile musical peers to share the stage with her. Previous weekends have featured electrifying surprise appearances and collaborative performances from an eclectic mix of global superstars and regional favorites, including Laura Pausini, Alejandro Sanz, Manuel Turizo, Dua Lipa, and the Ghetto Kids, raising anticipation even higher for who might make an appearance during El Último Baile.
