A legendary artist whose music connects Marbella, the Mediterranean and Madrid
There are artists who achieve success, and then there are artists who become global icons. Shakira belongs firmly to the second category. For more than three decades, the Colombian superstar has crossed cultural and linguistic boundaries, becoming one of the most recognised artists in the world.
Her connection with Marbella goes back to 11 July 2018, when Shakira performed at Starlite Marbella as part of her El Dorado World Tour. It was an unforgettable night that brought her distinctive energy and international appeal to the Costa del Sol.
In 2026, her name returned to the Marbella spotlight when Premios Juventud held its first European edition at Starlite Marbella. Shakira was among the evening’s major award winners, receiving three honours. However, the singer was not physically present in Marbella for the ceremony.
Her story with Spain continues in Madrid. As part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, Shakira will perform a spectacular series of concerts at Estadio Shakira, at Iberdrola Music in Madrid, from September 18 to October 11, 2026.
For her Spanish audience, these concerts represent a major return and another chapter in the extraordinary career of an artist who continues to reinvent herself while remaining unmistakably Shakira.
From her memorable performance in Marbella in 2018 to her spectacular return to Madrid in 2026, Shakira’s connection with Spain remains part of her global story — a story defined by music, resilience, glamour and international appeal.
