Madrid’s Bernabéu Stadium Unexpectedly Cancels Concerts Until 2025

The plans to transform the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, into a new musical epicenter have encountered an unexpected setback.

Following successful shows by artists like Karol G, Taylor Swift and Luis Miguel, the football club Real Madrid announced on Friday (Sep. 13) that it has decided to suspend scheduled concerts at its official venue until 2025, though no specific date was provided. “Despite the soundproofing of the Santiago Bernabéu and the additional measures that have been put in place, compliance with these regulations by the various organizers and promoters has been hampered by the challenge of meeting all the requirements,” the statement added. The Bernabéu Stadium, which hosts one of the largest football teams in the Spanish capital, is located in the Chamartín district, right on Paseo de la Castellana, a mainly residential area.
