Spanish singer Aitana marked the beginning of her Cuarto Azul World Tour on May 9, 2026, with a compelling show at the Municipal Stadium Antonio Peroles in Almería. Drawing nearly 18,000 attendees, the concert combined emotional intimacy with dynamic stage production, reflecting the star’s significant growth since her early career days.

The event’s design and setlist created a journey through her musical evolution, delivering an experience that resonated deeply with the audience.
Innovative Stage Design Enhances Storytelling
The stage was crafted as an open house with multiple levels and rooms, providing a unique platform for Aitana to move seamlessly between intimate performances and energetic numbers. The opening song, “6 de Febrero,” was performed from a white bed atop a two-level structure, emphasizing a personal and reflective mood.
Lighting and giant screens shifted atmospheres throughout the show, complementing the vivid colors of the set and costumes. Aitana’s nude custom outfit by Devol Studio, paired with personalized boots by Hispanitas, reinforced the show’s aesthetic balance between vulnerability and strength.
A Setlist Bridging Past and Present
The concert’s song choices centered on Cuarto Azul, but also incorporated hits like “Mon Amour,” “Vas a Quedarte,” and “Gran Vía.” The artist acknowledged the audience warmly, describing the event as a “little piece of Cuarto Azul,” while promising nods to her earlier work.
- “No Te Has Ido y Ya Te Extraño” featured an emotional pause where Aitana greeted the fans.
- “Miamor” and “Las Babys” elicited enthusiastic singalongs, illustrating the strong connection with longtime supporters.

“Welcome to our little piece of Cuarto Azul,” Aitana told the crowd, emphasizing the show’s intimate yet expansive nature.
Her ability to balance professional performance with approachable warmth underscores Aitana’s growing stature as a leading figure in Spanish pop music.
Implications for Spanish Live Music and Culture
The successful launch of the Cuarto Azul World Tour reflects broader trends in Spain’s live music sector, which surpassed $930 million in 2025. Aitana’s prominence as the first woman to enter the top 10 live acts list highlights the increasing role of female artists in shaping the market.
