It’s official: “Music Bank in Madrid” is back on, now scheduled to take place at the Miguel Ríos Auditorium in Rivas Vaciamadrid.
‘Music Bank in Madrid’ Confirmed for Miguel Ríos Auditorium
On September 25, local event organizer Korean Power confirmed the change in venue following recent disruptions.
“The Music Bank World Tour Madrid will be held on the scheduled date, October 12, 2024, with the same schedule, at the Miguel Ríos Auditorium in Rivas Vaciamadrid. It’s a well-connected venue (Metro and Intercity buses) and the only one available in the Madrid region with the necessary capacity to accommodate everyone who had already purchased their tickets, without compromising any of the artistic and technical production aspects,” the statement read.
“The main change will be that tickets, which were originally all seated, will now be standing tickets both on the floor and in the stands, due to space limitations and to ensure a safe evacuation plan,” it added.
Originally, the concert was set to be held at the iconic Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on October 12, 2024. However, earlier this month, Real Madrid canceled all concerts at the stadium until March 2025 due to ongoing noise complaints from local residents. This decision came as a surprise to many, including the organizers of “Music Bank in Madrid,” who were reportedly not informed in advance.
Despite the setback, the event will go forward as planned, now taking place at a different venue. The Miguel Ríos Auditorium is also a popular venue known for hosting major concerts and events, providing an excellent backdrop for the K-pop extravaganza.
Fans can look forward to performances from top K-pop acts like ENHYPEN, aespa, BOYNEXTDOOR, RIIZE, NMIXX, KISS OF LIFE, MAMAMOO+, and P1Harmony. The new venue ensures that the excitement will continue on October 12, 2024, with a spectacular lineup set to deliver an unforgettable experience for K-pop fans in Spain.
