Karol G sets record for most tickets sold in Spain

The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu concerts conclude her Mañana Será Bonito Tour, which smashed records in Europe, the US and LatAm

By Lisa Henderson on 25 Jul 2024


Colombian superstar Karol G has wrapped her Mañana Será Bonito Tour having set a raft of new records in Europe.

The tour reached its grand finale at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, with four performances on 20, 21, 22, and 23 July.

The Live Nation-produced shows sold 240,000 tickets – the highest number of tickets any artist has ever sold in Spain, including Taylor Swift.

She also becomes the first artist to hold four consecutive stadium concerts in Spain and the first artist to have four sold-out nights at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

The Spain run concludes the Mañana Será Bonito Tour, which sold more than two million tickets, grossed $300 million and shattered attendance and revenue records in Europe, the US and Latin America.

Live Nation announced last month that the outing has become the largest Latin music European tour ever, with 415,000 tickets sold.

The four Live Nation-produced shows sold 240,000 tickets – the highest number of tickets any artist has ever sold in Spain

The trek included sold-out days in 10 cities, including Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome in the Netherlands, London’s The O2 in the UK, Paris’s Accor Arena in France, Milan’s Mediolanum Forum in Italy and Lisbon’s MEO Arena in Portugal.

Among other milestones, the 33-year-old is now the first Latin artist to perform twice as part of the same tour at the Ziggo Dome, the Latin artist who sold the most tickets and the fastest sell-out in London, the first Latin artist to perform twice at the Accor Arena and the top-selling Latin female artist at the Meo Arena.

The reggaeton star sold more than one million tickets during the Latin American leg of her Mañana Será Bonito Tour, smashing several records across numerous LatAm countries.

Beginning the tour in Mexico in February, the Grammy Award winner became the first female Latin artist to sell out three nights at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium (cap. 87,523). She went on to do two nights in Guatemala, where she sold the most tickets for any international artist in the country, and broke Coldplay’s record by selling 104,686 tickets over two nights at Costa Rica’s national stadium.

The star also became the first female artist to sell out two nights at the Dominican Republic’s Olympic Stadium (60,000) and three shows at Chile’s national stadium (60,000). She’s the only artist to sell out two nights at Venezuela’s Estadio Monumental (84,567) and became the fastest Latin female artist to sell out two stadium shows in Argentina with her two Estadio Vélez Sarsfield (49,540) performances.

Karol G is represented worldwide by UTA’s Jbeau Lewis, Jules de Lattre and Tom Matthews, and managed by Noah Assad of Rimas Entertainment.

A report on the monumental Mañana Será Bonito Tour will be featured in the next edition of IQ, published in August.
