Historic season at the Metropolitano: Aitana's success crowns its most crowded year

The Riyadh Air Metropolitano has completed its most ambitious and successful season since opening in 2018. Thirteen concerts , over 800,000 attendees, and management that consolidates it as the venue of choice for promoters for major events in Spain. According to various industry sources, working at the Metropolitano is simpler, more functional, and much more reliable than at any other large venue in the capital.

Unlike other venues, the Metropolitano has proven to be a "plug and play" space for major shows. In this regard, national and international promoters agree in highlighting the ease of operation and the effective coordination with the venue's institutions and community for both artists, technicians, and the audience.

If there's one thing that marks a turning point this season, it's the key role the Metropolitano has played as an alternative to the instability experienced at other venues in the city. Throughout 2024, the Santiago Bernabéu saw several of its planned concerts canceled due to neighborhood issues arising from the renovation work and a lack of technical guarantees, including the two concerts by Aitana and the one by Lola Índigo.

The Metropolitano thus became the natural solution for promoters in the face of the uncertainty surrounding the Bernabéu, thanks to its well-established operations, flexible access, architecture designed for shows, and management that facilitates every step of the process, from setup to takedown. The feedback received from the organizers has been unanimous: working with the red-and-white stadium is synonymous with efficiency, reliability, and results.

Madrid strengthens its musical leadership

Aitana's double act, with more than 110,000 attendees , has closed in style a historic season that started with Ed Sheeran and continued with big names such as Imagine Dragons, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Dellafuente, Lola Índigo , Natos y Waor or Stray Kids.

These thirteen concerts have taken place without incident, without neighborhood complaints , and with an outstanding audience experience . The stadium has once again demonstrated that it is possible to organize top-level events without impacting the urban environment thanks to meticulous mobility planning, a structure designed to reduce acoustic impact , and the existence of a "Fan Zone" that channels audience activity without overwhelming the surrounding area.

Since its opening, the Metropolitan has hosted 57 concerts , becoming a benchmark in regulatory compliance, urban coexistence, sustainability, and efficiency.

This season's success is the result of years of learning, continuous improvements, and a clear commitment to a well-crafted show. While other venues struggle with delays, restrictions, or operational issues , the Metropolitano offers guarantees. That's why it has become a benchmark for international tours and a key driver for Madrid's continued consolidation as the European capital of live music .
