Shakira has confirmed Alejandro Sanz will join her at Estadio Shakira for the second weekend of her Madrid residency, and she has teased that Maluma will appear too.
The announcement comes via Vanity Fair España, which reports Sanz is expected to perform several songs alongside Shakira during Friday night’s show. The pair are longtime collaborators who famously teamed up on 2005’s “La Tortura,” and they most recently reunited for Sanz’s 2025 single “Bésame.”
Sanz’s Madrid Debut
Details on Sanz’s performance are still under wraps. The two have collaborated frequently over the years, and “La Tortura” remains a key part of their catalog.
“Bésame” marked their first collaboration since “La Tortura,” and now it looks set to find a live home at Estadio Shakira. The song arrives with Sanz confirmed to perform several tracks alongside Shakira on Friday night, though no further details have been released.
Maluma’s Arrival in Madrid
Maluma’s involvement was first hinted at by Shakira herself. She posted about the residency on Instagram, writing “Shakkk era secreto jaja.” Maluma responded directly on her post, confirming the tease.
Spanish media reported on Friday that Maluma has arrived in Madrid, which adds weight to speculation that his appearance could come this weekend. The pair released their latest collaboration, “Agua,” earlier this month.

The First Weekend’s Numbers
Shakira kicked off her 12-show Madrid residency last weekend, drawing approximately 165,000 fans across its first three nights. That figure suggests the shows are selling out quickly, given the stadium setting.
Laura Pausini also made a surprise appearance, joining Shakira for the first-ever live duet of “Antología.” The performance added another highlight to the opening stretch of shows.
The residency runs through October 11th. Fans can check for deals and get tickets to the sold-out shows here (where fans can save $20 on their first order of $200 or more with promo code CONSEQUENCE20 at checkout).
What To Watch For This Weekend
The lineup for the second weekend is shaping up to be a reunion of Shakira’s biggest Latin collaborations. Sanz brings the “La Tortura” history, while Maluma represents her more recent work.
Both artists have spent years building careers that overlap with Shakira’s, and both have produced tracks with her that fans hold in high regard. Their shared stage time this weekend could be a strong addition to the residency.
The residency is already a success by any measure. With Sanz confirmed and Maluma arriving in Madrid, the second weekend looks set to build on the momentum of the first.
- Sanz performs several songs with Shakira on Friday night.
- Maluma joins the residency, date unspecified.
- “Agua” gets its live debut.
- “Antología” remains a standout from the first weekend.
For fans who managed to secure tickets, the weekend promises to deliver on the promise of the residency itself: a celebration of Shakira’s career through collaborations that defined it.
