Shakira kicks off the final leg of her *Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour* this Friday, September 18, in Madrid. The Colombian singer will perform 12 concerts through October 11 at Shakira Stadium, the temporary venue set up at Iberdrola Music in Villaverde, as part of a residency that makes the capital her major European stop.
For those who already have tickets, one of the big questions is inevitable: What songs will Shakira sing? The answer, for now, calls for caution. Neither the artist nor the organizers have released an official, finalized setlist for Madrid, so it’s impossible to say for certain what order the songs will be performed in or whether the setlist will be identical across all twelve nights. What we can anticipate based on previous concerts on the tour and the information released ahead of the premiere is a show lasting about two hours, featuring more than 30 songs that will cover her greatest hits, tracks from *Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran*, and some special nods to the Madrid audience.
The songs most likely to be performed
Although there is no official set order for the Madrid concerts, the songs already performed during the tour offer a good guide to get an idea of how the evening might unfold. Among the most likely songs are the following:
- The strong
- Girl Like Me
- The Songs of Intuition
- I’m here
- Empire
- Inevitable
- Congratulations
- Can’t Remember to Forget You
- TQG
- Acrostic
- Empty Glass
- La bicicleta
- The torture
- Hips Don’t Lie
- Blackmail
- Monotony
- Bare Feet, White Dreams
- Where are you, sweetheart?
- Addicted to You
- Crazy
- Eyes Like That
- Anthology
- Good luck
- Waka Waka
- Loba
- BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53
The tour’s setlists have also included other songs that could appear on one of the dates during this residency, such as “Don’t Bother,” “Cómo, dónde y cuándo,” “Última,” “Pies descalzos, sueños blancos,” “Poem to a Horse,” “Objection (Tango),” “Mama África,” “Zoo,” “Can’t Remember to Forget You,” “¿Dónde están los ladrones?” and “Underneath Your Clothes.” These are songs that have been part of previous performances, but their inclusion in the capital has not been confirmed.
Special nods to Madrid
The Madrid residency will not be an exact replica of the previous tour dates. There are at least two songs with a special connection to the city that stand out among the possible new additions to the setlist.
The first is “Te dejo Madrid,” a song included on *Fijación Oral Vol. 1* and directly associated with the capital city because of its title. Shakira has confirmed that she will perform this song in Madrid, as she herself revealed following an interview with David Broncano.
The inclusion of “Sale el sol” has also been announced. The song holds special significance in Madrid because Shakira officially performed it for the first time at Rock in Rio Madrid in 2010, when she dedicated the performance to Gustavo Cerati, who was in a coma at the time. Reviving the song during this residency serves as a tribute to the Argentine musician and as one of the artist’s most symbolic gestures toward the city.
Will there be any special guests?
The residency is part of a larger-scale project called Macondo Park, a cultural experience that includes music, gastronomy, literature, fashion, and visual arts activities leading up to the concerts. The accompanying program features artists and events distinct from those of the main show.
That doesn’t mean that everyone associated with Macondo Park will take the stage with Shakira. The presence of guest artists in the supporting lineup does not confirm collaborations during the 12 performances at Shakira Stadium. So far, there is no official list of musical guests for each night, so any appearance should be considered a surprise rather than a guaranteed part of the concert.
