"More than 500,000 tickets have been sold in record time, with all 11 concerts expected to be sold out, turning the Iberdrola Music venue into a tribute to Latin music."
"The venue will bear the most symbolic name possible for a Colombian artist: Macondo Park, a reference to Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel One Hundred Years of Solitude."
"Sara Hernandez, the mayor of Getafe, has requested a meeting with the promoter to ask them to show some empathy toward Getafe regarding the event's scale."
"The number of major events has increased by 425%, rising from four to 17 confirmed days so far for 2026 at this venue."
Shakira is set to perform 11 concerts in Madrid's Villaverde district, selling over 500,000 tickets. The event, in partnership with Live Nation, will feature a festival atmosphere at Macondo Park. However, local residents and Getafe's mayor, Sara Hernandez, express concerns about the venue's capacity for such large-scale events. Hernandez has requested a meeting with the promoter to address these issues, especially given the significant increase in major events planned for the area in the coming years.
