Colombian singer Shakira will close her European residency in Madrid on October 12 with a special concert featuring guest performers Maluma, Dani Martín, and Beéle.
The added performance comes on top of 12 dates in the Spanish capital that were scheduled months in advance. Madrid has served as the central base of operations for the European leg of her tour.
Organisers announced that the final night will not follow a standard concert format. Shakira has invited several close musical friends to join her on stage, with additional unannounced guests expected to appear during the event.
Collaborations with Maluma
Colombian singer Maluma is scheduled to join Shakira on stage for the October 12 event, following a reported appearance planned for Friday, October 9. The two artists have maintained a collaborative relationship over several years.
Maluma, born Juan Luis Londoño Arias in Medellín, Colombia, has established himself as one of Latin urban music's prominent figures. On the opening day of Shakira's residency in Madrid, the pair released their joint track Agua. Shakira has featured the song during pre-show music at the stadium throughout her stay in the city.
Their history of musical partnerships includes the 2016 hit Chantaje, which is included in the setlist prepared for the concert series. The duo subsequently released the tracks Trap and Clandestino.
Performance with Dani Martín
Spanish singer Dani Martín will also take part in the final concert. Although the two artists have not recorded a studio duet, they share a history of live performances in Spain.
In 2011, Shakira selected Martín to open her concert in Barcelona during her El Dorado tour. At the time, Martín was launching his solo career after the disbandment of El Canto del Loco, a popular Spanish pop-rock band formed in Madrid in the late 1990s.
Martín is recognized as one of the most prominent pop figures from Madrid. Questions remain regarding which songs the two will select for the show, as well as whether Shakira will alter her established setlist for the final date.
Stage chemistry with Beéle
Colombian artist Beéle completes the trio of announced guest performers. Last summer, he and Shakira released the collaborative single Algo tú, which achieved widespread popularity in subsequent months.
Beéle, a Colombian singer-songwriter known for his work in Latin urban genres, previously demonstrated stage rapport with Shakira when he joined her to perform her hit single Hips Don't Lie. Frequent public appearances together during that period sparked media speculation regarding a potential romantic relationship.
Residency finale in Madrid
The October 12 show is designed as a celebratory conclusion to Shakira's extended residency in Spain. Promoters indicated that the evening will feature further guest appearances that have not yet been named publicly.
Shakira stated that the final performance would deliver an extraordinary experience for attendees as she concludes her series of concerts in the capital.
