The Culture, Tourism and Sports delegate of the Madrid City Council, Borja Carabante, has stated that the consistory has no official information about a possible stadium for Shakira. These statements respond to a news item that quoted the artist announcing the construction of a venue for her tour, suggesting the Iberdrola Music de Villaverde. Carabante indicated that the promoters could make an announcement soon.
The logistics of a mega-event: temporary infrastructure and license management 🏗️
Setting up a large-scale concert requires complex technical planning. Beyond the stage, an acoustic and mobility impact study is needed, the installation of ephemeral services such as high-power lighting and sound towers, and crowd management systems. All of this must have municipal permits, a process that can be lengthy and, according to the statements, would not have started its official processing in this case.
