Shakira Closes Madrid Residency With Maluma and Four Guests

Shakira concluded her European concert residency in Madrid on October 12, 2026, with a star-studded performance at Macondo Park that featured Maluma and several other guests. The Colombian singer's 13-show series attracted approximately 700,000 people, according to figures cited by Billboard, turning the production into a major live music event in the Spanish capital.

The final performance coincided with Spain's Hispanic Day celebrations and brought together music, elaborate stage production and appearances by prominent Spanish personalities. According to OKDIARIO, the venue welcomed approximately 55,000 spectators for the closing show.

The residency initially comprised eight concert dates before expanding to 13, Billboard reported. The run began on September 18 and featured a themed environment inspired by Macondo, with organizers involving more than 10,000 people in the production, according to OKDIARIO.

Maluma joined Shakira onstage to perform their hit "Chantaje" and present their new song "Agua" live for the first time, according to Univision. The appearance provided one of the final concert's principal musical highlights, bringing the Colombian artists together before the Madrid audience.

Shakira's closing show also featured four additional guests, bringing the reported total to five invited performers or personalities. Billboard identified Maluma and Bizarrap among the guests associated with the residency's finale, while OKDIARIO documented the wider program and its special appearances.

Before the concert began, Shakira walked toward the stage alongside five Spanish public figures: Laura Escanes, Nuria Roca, Pilar Vidal, Blanca Padilla and Esther Cañadas. OKDIARIO reported that the procession had become a recurring feature of the residency, with different entertainers, presenters, models and influencers joining the singer on previous nights.

The final performance included songs from different periods of Shakira's career. According to OKDIARIO, the set featured "La Fuerte," "Girl Like Me," "Las de la Intuición," "Estoy Aquí," "Inevitable," "Si Te Vas," "Te Felicito," "TQG" and "Don't Bother." Large screens, visual effects, animations and artificial intelligence-generated imagery accompanied the performance.

During the show, Shakira addressed the audience and described the residency as a significant period in her professional life. She also acknowledged personal difficulties, including concerns about her father's health, according to OKDIARIO.

"This month has been, I think, one of the most important of my career. This residency has been historic for me," Shakira told the crowd, according to OKDIARIO's account of the speech.

The singer credited her fans with helping her maintain the energy required to perform throughout the extended run. Her remarks connected the celebration surrounding the concerts with the personal challenges she had faced during the residency.

"You truly make time stand still and give me the strength, because you give it to me, to step onto the stage every night with complete joy and a full heart," Shakira said, according to OKDIARIO.

She also reflected on how the audience had shaped her experience of performing throughout the Madrid engagement. The residency brought together longtime followers and newer listeners through a set spanning multiple stages of her career.

"You have made me enjoy this as if I were just starting my career, and I will never forget that," Shakira said, according to OKDIARIO.

The singer's farewell carried a personal dimension beyond the production's scale. OKDIARIO reported that she expressed reluctance to leave Spain, describing the departure as difficult after the weeks spent performing in Madrid.

The concert series transformed Macondo Park into a dedicated entertainment destination, with themed costumes and accessories visible among the audience. According to Billboard, the approximately 700,000 attendees across all 13 dates underscored the scale of Shakira's Madrid engagement.
