Shakira's concerts in Madrid leave a wave of complaints: "It was scary"

T he Shakira concerts in Madrid have been well received by her fans, although some attendees have reported long waits and have expressed concern about the movement of the stands.

The complaints focused mainly on the long queues to access Macondo Park and on the waits to buy food. Added to these problems were comments from spectators who said they had noticed movement in the stands during the concert, a situation that caused concern among part of the audience.

The venue, a theme park of about 30 hectares, is hosting a total of 12 concerts with which the Colombian singer will bring her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour to an end on October 11. More than 50,000 people attend each night, a figure that gives an idea of the logistical challenge each day entails.

Concern among part of the audience

A young woman who attended one of the concerts said that the movement of the stands was especially noticeable during the show. “The stands were moving a lot with people’s movements. It was terrifying. No one was dancing because people were so scared. Some people suffered anxiety attacks and had to be treated by the venue’s medical services”, she explained.

Other accounts emphasized long lines to enter the venue and also the waits to buy food

Live Nation Spain responded to the comments with a statement published on X . The promoter responsible for the performances stated that the facilities comply with the established safety checks.

“All our structures, including the stands, are duly certified and officially checked for their safety and stability,” the company said.

The first concert was a success musically, but it left doubts regarding organization , with an overall picture in which the enthusiasm of the fans coexists with criticism over the management of access, services, and the stands.

The artist still has ten concerts ahead in the capital: September 20, 25, 26 and 27; October 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11. All of them are being held at Macondo Park
