Dua Lipa joins Shakira on stage

Shakira performed alongside Dua Lipa on October 3, 2026, at Macondo Park in Madrid, according to Hola. The appearance took place during the eighth of twelve concerts in Shakira's residency tied to her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" World Tour.

Hola reported that the collaboration took shape after Dua Lipa performed Shakira's song "Antología" during a visit to Bogotá in late 2025, a performance that moved Shakira because the song was written in that same city. The two singers later met in Paris earlier in 2026 to discuss performing together, according to the same report. Shakira had previously said, in comments cited by Hola, that Dua Lipa speaks Spanish fluently and described her as "incredible."

Hola described the joint performance as the pair's first live appearance together and said it was expected to draw more than 50,000 attendees inside the venue.

A temporary stadium built for a twelve-show residency

The Madrid residency runs across four weekends — September 18-20, September 25-27, October 2-4 and October 9-11, 2026 — for a total of twelve concerts, according to Dod Magazine and El Independiente. Both outlets describe the venue as a specially built stadium inside the Iberdrola Music complex in Madrid's Villaverde district, renamed Macondo Park for the residency.

The English-language Wikipedia entry for the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour lists the same Madrid dates, from September 18 to October 11, 2026, in its schedule table, and describes the residency as marking the tour's conclusion, even though the tour's own listed schedule continues with a later date on November 28, 2026, in Cairo, Egypt. The same Wikipedia article's narrative text states that 'eleven concerts' were announced for Madrid, a figure that differs from the twelve-date count given by Dod Magazine, El Independiente and Wikipedia's own schedule table. Wikipedia also notes that a temporary venue, referred to as Shakira Stadium, was built in Villaverde specifically for the engagement.

Earlier concerts in the residency featured guest appearances by Alejandro Sanz, Laura Pausini and Manuel Turizo, according to El Independiente, which noted that Shakira debuted a collaboration with Turizo titled "Copa Vacía" during the shows.

Schedule, capacity and tickets

Dod Magazine reported a daily schedule for the residency: Macondo Park opens at noon, entry to the seating areas begins at 20:00, the concert starts at 21:00 and is scheduled to end around 23:00.

El Independiente reported on September 30 that resale tickets for the final six shows, including the October 3 date, were still available through StubHub at prices starting around €125 and rising to about €187, and described demand as high with limited remaining inventory.

Getting to Macondo Park

According to Dod Magazine, the site is reachable via Madrid's Metro Line 3 (Villaverde Alto) and Line 12 (Los Espartales), commuter rail stops at Villaverde Alto and San Cristóbal Industrial, several EMT bus lines, and free night shuttles running between Gran Vía de Villaverde and Atocha station, with a stop at Legazpi, between 23:00 and 02:00.

The outlet also described Macondo Park itself as a roughly 30-hectare temporary cultural space inspired by Gabriel García Márquez's magical realism, organised around eight themed pavilions dedicated to Latin American culture, gastronomy, art and dance, plus a children's area called Macondito.

What is not yet confirmed
