Quevedo is back, and in a big way. On Monday (Feb. 17), the Canary Island artist kicked off his highly anticipated Buenas Noches Tour with a sold-out show at the Movistar Arena in Madrid, the first of three consecutive dates in the Spanish capital. After nearly a year away from the stage, the performer of “Playa del Inglés” returns with a show that demonstrates his artistic evolution and his mastery of the live performance, combining the best of his repertoire with a visual and sound display that meets expectations.
From the first moment, the audience sang along with total devotion, while Quevedo — all dressed in black and with his emblematic diamond chain inspired by Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” — commanded the central stage. In front of about 17,000 fans, the artist sang hits from his most recent album, Buenas Noches, and others that have made him one of the most influential voices in the current Latin urban scene.
But the night wasn’t just his own. The show was full of surprises, with appearances from artists like Aitana, Lola Índigo, De La Ghetto, De La Rose, Sech and La Pantera. With a minimalist but effective stage setup, Quevedo confirmed that he is ready to take his music beyond Spain, with a tour that will soon take him across Latin America.
The Movistar Arena in Madrid perfectly adapted to Quevedo’s style, with a stage located in the center of the venue. This configuration, surrounded by screens and visual effects, allowed attendees to enjoy the show from any angle. The pyrotechnics and synchronized lights show added a spectacular touch, elevating the atmosphere of each performance and complementing the powerful presence of the artist.
After his performances in Madrid, Quevedo will take his show to several Latin American countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. For a full list of dates, click here. He will also visit other cities in Spain, such as Gran Canaria, Barcelona, Malaga and Bilbao.
Below, the eight best moments from Quevedo’s Buenas Noches Tour kick off in Madrid.
The opening of the show couldn’t have been more powerful. With the first notes of “Kassandra,” the audience burst into screams while Quevedo made his entrance with an imposing total black look. The energy was felt immediately, and set the tone for the night.
These two were the first special guests to surprise the audience, appearing on stage to perform “Amaneció,” and they quickly upped the intensity of the concert, with their interaction generating an immediate response among attendees.
The concert had multiple peaks, but the song “El Tonto” with Lola Índigo provided one of the highest. The Andalusian artist joined Quevedo to unleash a real party at the Movistar Arena, with a choreographic display that lit up the place even more.
Sech’s presence provided one of the most emotional moments of the night. Together, he and QUevedo performed “Te Fallé,” a melancholy song that offered an intimate moment in the midst of all the euphoria.
Quevedo surprised his fans by paying tribute to one of the most iconic bands of Spanish rock, Jarabe de Palo, with the classic “La Flaca.” He sang it accompanied by the band’s guitarist Jordi Mena, achieving one of the most nostalgic singalong moments of the night.
One of the most anticipated moments of the night came true when Aitana appeared on stage to perform “Gran Vía” alongside Quevedo. It had been rumored for days that the star could join the show, and the audience exploded when it finally happened. It was the first time that both sang their collaboration live, making the presentation even more special. In addition, Aitana surprised with a new look, wearing blue locks that caught the attention of her followers.
It’s the song that catapulted Quevedo to stardom — with that passionate chorus “Quédate, que la noche sin ti duele…” So when the first chords of “Quevedo: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 52” sounded, the fans sang along in unison at the top of their lungs. The energy reached its absolute peak at that moment.
Quevedo closed the night with a doubleheader: “Mr. Moondial,” his collaboration with Pitbull, and “Columbia”, one of his most-sung tracks. With pyrotechnics and striking visual production, the end of the show made it clear that the Buenas Noches Tour has just started with a bang.
