Shakira is planning a series of concerts in Madrid, Spain, as part of her 'Las mujeres ya no lloran' world tour. The concerts are scheduled for September and October at the Iberdrola Music venue in the Villaverde neighborhood. The event, dubbed 'Estadio Shakira,' is expected to draw large crowds, with over 500,000 tickets sold. However, the planned concerts have sparked controversy. The Government Delegate in Madrid has formally requested that the city's mayor reconsider authorizing the events at the Iberdrola Music venue, citing concerns about safety and the suitability of the location for mass gatherings. This request has led to disagreements between the government, the Community of Madrid, and local residents. Despite the controversy, Shakira has added more dates due to high demand, bringing the total to 11 concerts. The event is significant as it marks Shakira's European residency and is expected to be a large-scale production.
