Isabel Díaz Ayuso plans to declare certain major concerts of general interest to allow the return to the Bernabéu

The Community of Madrid has been analyzing for several months different avenues to unblock the situation of concerts at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, interrupted since the end of 2024 and without a precise date for resumption. According to El Confidencial, Isabel Díaz Ayuso's executive is working on the idea of ​​declaring certain major shows of general interest, thus creating a specific legal framework intended to reassure both organizers and local residents.

The recent electoral process at Real Madrid has relaunched discussions around a possible return of concerts in the white enclosure. In this context, the words of Florentino Pérez to El País revived the wait: “It's already settled, we won in court, we will do concerts. We have the support of the Town Hall and the Community, who will establish special rules. » The Madrid president, however, did not specify a timetable for a possible reopening.

The hypothesis of a declaration of general interest would fit precisely into these “special rules” mentioned by Pérez. To implement it, the Community should amend the Law on Public Shows and Recreational Activities. The measure would not target all concerts, but only events of particular importance due to their size or regional impact.

Examples put forward include the ten announced Bad Bunny concerts between May and June in Madrid, as well as the eleven dates scheduled by Shakira in September and October. The Consejería de Medio Ambiente, Agricultura e Interior, led by Carlos Novillo, has been developing for months a proposal aimed at reconciling musical activity and the protection of residents in the affected areas.

El Confidencial nevertheless underlines the complexity of the file: no final decision has yet been taken and it remains necessary to verify the legal compatibility of any planned modification. No firm timetable has yet been communicated, although the regional executive's intention is that the new regulations can be adopted before the end of the current legislature, scheduled for May next year.
