Oh, Rosalía, Benito, Amaia (Montero). You’ve really stirred things up. These are just three of the artists who will work their magic on Madrid with live music in 2026.
The city is hosting international tours by bands such as BTS, Bruno Mars (his only date in Spain to present his new album), Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance (with Mogwai!), Placebo ( who will be here to celebrate 30 years of history), Bad Bunny, Shakira ( who will perform in a stadium built just for her), Tokio Hotel… and the highly acclaimed composer Hans Zimmer. Brace yourselves—there are twists and turns ahead.
In addition to the highly anticipated arrival of Rosalía and her LUX, there’s an impressive lineup of local artists we’re really, really looking forward to seeing in venues or large stadiums: Vetusta Morla’s return to the stage ; Guitarricadelafuente, wrapping up an artistic cycle; Bad Gyal, kicking off a new one with the release of her new album; the sensation caused by the Extremaduran band Sanguijuelas del Guadiana, who have already sold out three! Rivieras; the returnof r Los Delinqüentes (who have just announced a second date); and Nacho Vegas, El Último de la Fila, Agorazein, or the multiple dates by La Oreja de Van Gogh at the Movistar Arena (with the original lineup). Not to mention Yurena’s redemption, as she’ll be holding “the concert that never was” this spring.
And, of course, plenty of speculation about what might be announced. Like Lana del Rey, Lorde, Blink-182, Harry Styles… or Taylor Swift? Artists who are preparing new albums and tours that, according to forecasts, hopes, and dreams, will make their way to Madrid.
