2022: live music is back
Large-scale concerts and festivals will be back after almost two years of empty stages and the most scintillating stars from the world of music have concerts planned in Spain.
Dua Lipa, The Killers, Maluma, Alicia Keys or Aerosmith, amongst many others, will perform on the largest Spanish stages next year. The great musical shows are back and they will once again make their audiences sing, jump and dance after almost two years. The success of the vaccination campaign and greater epidemiological control has made it possible for 2022 to become a year full of great concerts. Accordingly, it is predicted that over the next few months a return to normality will start (face masks will have to be continue being used) in the world of music with the scheduling of thousands of mass musical events, cancelled during the pandemic. Therefore, artists are going to take up the world tours they left half-done due to the outbreak of Covid-19.
Great opportunities to once again be able to see and feel the singers whose words and melodies have taken us on journeys to other worlds, other spaces and feelings during the toughest times of lockdown and restrictions.
Tours with the top names
Dua Lipa, Shawn Mendes, Maluma and Yungblud are just some of today’s international artists that will perform in Spain next year. A flood of musical stars with millions of social media followers and songs with soaring numbers of streams on the digital platforms. Most of these artists have scheduled two concerts in Spain, one at the Palau Sant Jordi (Barcelona) and another at the WiZink Center (Madrid), two of the country’s most impressive venues.
Maluma, the successful singer of urban music, will make those attending her concerts in Barcelona (31/3) and Madrid (5/4) dance along to her Latin rhythms. The queen of current pop music, Dua Lipa will present her latest world hit, Don’t start now, at the Palau Sant Jordi (1/6). Two days later (3/6), she will do the same at the WiZink Center in Madrid. Wonder: The World Tour, by Shawn Mendes will be another of the year’s main attractions. The Canadian will visit Barcelona (14/5) and then Madrid (20/5) and he will perform his famous catchy pop song hits. On the other hand, the talented Yungblud, who is pure dynamite on the stage, will also fill the Razzmatazzz (2/5, Barcelona) and La Riviera (3/5, Madrid) with his particular brand of alternative pop-rock melodies. Alicia Keys, Bryan Adams, Passenger, Bunbury and mythic bands such as Tokio Hotel, Mägo de Oz, Kiss, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden and Red Hot Chili Peppers are other groups and artists who will take to the Spanish stages over 2022.
Prestigious festivals
Spain is one of the countries with the highest number of prestigious music festivals. After the previous editions, which were slightly decaffeinated due to the pandemic restrictions, next year, highly significant events such as Primavera Sound (from the 2nd to the 12th of June, Barcelona); Mad Cool (from the 6th to the 10th of July, Madrid) and Bilbao BBK Live (from the 7th to the 9th of July), amongst others, are expected to recover all their previous glory. They will be endorsed by great groups and artists, such as Lorde, Gorillaz, Charlie XCX, Tangana, Mabel and Tame Impala, at the Primavera Sound; Twenty-One Pilots, Metallica, Imagine Dragons, Nathy Peluso and Muse, in the case of Mad Cool; and Pet Shop Boys, The Killers, Placebo and Caribou, on the Bilbao BBK Live stage.
