Aitana dreams big: four nights at the Sant Jordi and another four at the Movistar Arena
It's no secret that pop is enjoying a state of grace in our country. You only have to look at the fact that, currently, those artists, especially national ones, who have the most streams on platforms and sell the most tickets belong to this genre, with all its possible varieties and versions.
A clear example is the reception that the return of La Oreja de Van Gogh has had with Amaia Montero once again as the singer: five nights at the Movistar Arena, three at the Palau Sant Jordi and another three at the Bizkaia Arena BEC!, where the tour will begin and also end, in principle.

Another artist who has made history is Aitana. The singer from Sant Climent de Llobregat opened general sales this Thursday for the first announced dates of her Cuarto Azul world tour , following her short but intense stadium adventure this summer . The huge demand, with thousands of fans left without tickets, has led the artist to add new dates. It's an open secret.
Only U2 has filled the Montjuïc pavilion for four consecutive nights.She did so this Thursday night in a live performance on Instagram. The former contestant on Operación Triunfo 2017 has announced that she will be playing more nights in Valencia, Seville, Barcelona, Madrid, and Bilbao. In the case of the Roig Arena in the Valencian capital, she will also play there on May 21st, the ICÓNICA Santalucía Sevilla Fest on June 4th, and her second night at the Bizkaia Arena BEC! will be on September 19th.
However, two venues stand out in particular: the Movistar Arena in Madrid and the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona. In the case of the venue, which was formerly known as the Wizink Center, Aitana has sold out on September 11 and 12, and has announced new shows for the following days, September 14 and 15. Only artists like Sabina, Dani Martín, and the aforementioned La Oreja de Van Gogh, among very few, have been able to play the same number of nights as the Catalan artist on a single tour, or even surpass them.
The same has happened at the Olympic Pavilion. To date, cases such as the first edition of Operación Triunfo , the return of Sopa de Cabra in 2011, and, more recently, the three farewell concerts of Joan Manuel Serrat in December 2022, Melendi in 2024, and Lady Gaga's upcoming concerts on October 28, 29, and 31 have dared to perform three consecutive nights at the Montjuïc venue, and only U2, on their Innocence + Experience tour in 2015, performed four nights in a row. Ambitious and dreamy as she is, Aitana has joined the Irish club.
With these new concerts, the Catalan artist will offer a total of 24 recitals in our country on her upcoming world tour, in addition to those planned in countries such as Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico, with presumably more dates yet to be announced.
As the singer has announced, pre-sale tickets for these new concerts will be activated on October 27th, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for Banco Santander customers who have the Aitana card, and from 12 p.m. for all bank customers. The following day, the 28th, general sale will begin at 1 p.m.

Llibert TeixidóThe singer of songs like "Superestrella , " "Cuando Hablas con Él ," and "6 de Febrero" surely hopes that the Amazon crash that caused pre-orders for her first concerts to be paused for hours last Monday doesn't happen again. What is clear is that the Aitana craze seems far from abating. This past summer, she already sold out the Riyadh Air Metropolitano twice and the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. If she can fill all four nights of Sant Jordi, she will far surpass the number of fans she gathered at the Olympic stadium.
