Iron Maiden concert in Madrid

Iron Maiden will tour the continent of Europe during the summer of 2025. The first concert is in Budapest on May 27, and a little bit more than one month later, the band is coming to Madrid and the Metropolitano Stadium. This is the stadium by many referred to as Wanda Metropolitano, and also Riyadh Air Metropolitani. The same stadium will host an Imagine Dragons concert later in the summer of 2025, but on July 5, everything is about Iron Maiden at this popular stadium.

Atletico Madrid is the team normally using this stadium, but we don’t have to go further back in history than to July 2023 to be able to see and hear Iron Maiden at the same stadium in front of 68,000 people. In other words, the band is extremely popular in Madrid, and it isn’t a coincidence that the concert is arranged outdoor at such a large venue in Madrid, compared to cities such as Budapest and Bratislava where there will only be smaller indoor concerts.

Ed Sheeran concerts in Madrid 2025

Ed Sheeran is an English singer and songwriter. In 2025, he will tour the world and Europe once again, and we are extremely happy that he will do two concerts in the city of Madrid. During the summer of 2024, he did not come to Madrid (instead he visited more cities in Eastern Europe such as Zagreb, Budapest, and some others). But, in 2025 he will not go to those cities, instead he will visit more cities in Central Europe and Western Europe. Would you like to be there at one of the Ed Sheeran concerts in Madrid in 2025?

In 2008 he moved to London to build his musician career. His debut album was the ‘+’ and his famous singles from the CD are ‘The A Team’ and ‘Lego House’. The A Team later was nominated for the Song Of The Year at the 13th Grammy Awards. Later the year in 2012 he won two Brit Awards for the Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. He started to be well known in the USA in 2012 when he had a guest appearance on Taylor Swift’s new album and he even wrote songs for the band One Direction.

It is always a fantastic experience to be there at an Ed Sheeran concert, and it will be magical as Ed Sheeran will play and sing in front of nearly 70,000 people two evenings in a row in May 2025. The venue is Wanda Metropolitano, a fantastic stadium that will also be used for an Imagine Dragons concert in 2025. If you want to visit the stadium some other time, you can either do a tour of the stadium, or buy tickets for an Atletico Madrid match.

Ed Sheeran has had several concerts in Madrid before. In 2019, he played at the Wanda Metropolitano as well, but then he only had one concert. Before that, he had several concerts in the Wizink Center, a much smaller, but still a fantastic concert venue in Madrid.

It would be nice to meet Ed Sheeran as you go for a walk or as you go jogging in the El Retiro Park, but there hasn’t been a lot of reports about Ed Sheeran being spotted at famous attractions in Madrid. We do know that Ed Sheeran is a fan of football and of sports, so it might be that he has been to Madrid to watch Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid play, but we do not have a record of such incidents either.

We hope you will enjoy the Ed Sheeran concerts in Madrid and the city itself. You can read more about the most important attractions, the coolest activities, public transportation, how to travel from the airport to the city center, and other similar topics here in our Madrid Guide.

Imagine Dragons concert 2025

It is gonna be a fantastic evening for “Imagine Dragons” fans as the popular American band comes to the Spanish capital on June 28 in 2025. The event is held at Wanda Metropolitano, a big outdoor stadium in Madrid. Normally, the stadium is used to host the matches of Atletico Madrid, but it will open up to even more people as “Imagine Dragons” comes to Madrid in the end of June 2025.

The Wanda Metropolitano originally opened in 1994 as “La Peineta” and served primarily as an athletics stadium. However, in 2017, the stadium underwent a significant transformation and it was redeveloped as the home ground for Atlético Madrid. Until then, Atletico Madrid played their matches at the Vicente Calderón, but since then, Wanda Metropolitano is the new stadium of the team. The stadium’s name comes from a sponsorship deal with Wanda Group.

On a normal football match, the stadium has capacity for about 65,000 people, but when Imagine Dragons comes to Madrid, there will be even more people at the stadium ready to dance along and sing along as Imagine Dragons plays their biggest hits such as “Believer”, “Enemy”, “Demons”, and lots of other songs.

You can buy tickets for the concerts at the Viagogo website. If you are able to find them elsewhere (cheaper), that is even better, but if you have no other option, then you can easily buy overpriced tickets at Viagogo.

If you are unable to be there at the Imagine Dragons concert in Madrid, then you should also consider traveling to Barcelona where the band will perform on July 1, 2025.

“Imagine Dragons” concert in Madrid

Location: Wanda Metropolitano
Date: June 28, 2025

Some people have wondered whether there will be a second concert with Imagine Dragons in Madrid or not. We saw this happen in Prague, London, Budapest, and some other cities, but it has not yet been confirmed in Madrid. It would be great to see it happen, but we cannot say anything for sure yet.

 

Do not forget to book your hotel room early if you want to live close to the stadium, or maybe live in a nice apartment in the city center of Madrid. It is also wise to buy your entrance tickets to Prado and other museums early, because you might often have to stand a long time in queue if you come unprepared (that is, without a ticket).

Are there any other things happening in Madrid this summer that I should know of?

There are always things happening, and even if there shouldn’t be, the city has lots of beautiful attractions and museums you should visit, and it is always wonderful to go for a walk in the El Retiro Park. You can also read more about upcoming concerts, festivals, exhibitions, running competitions, and other events in Madrid right here.

How do I travel to the stadium?

It is very easy. Use the metro and travel with line seven to the stop named “Estadio Metropolitano.” That’s it! You are now at the stadium and you are ready to watch an Atletico Madrid match, or even better, even Imagine Dragons live in front of more than 70,000 people.
