5 May, 2026In 2026, the global music scene is filled with stars: from the urban energy of Bad Bunny in Madrid to the anticipated return of Bon Jovi in London, passing through Ariana Grande, Rosalía and J Balvin. RIU Hotels & Resorts becomes your strategic ally, offering the perfect refuge in key cities so that your only concern is to enjoy the show.
Why choose RIU for your next musical getaway?
Travelling to attend your favourite artist’s concert is one of the most rewarding experiences there are. It’s the perfect combination of the passion for music and the pleasure of discovering a new destination.
At RIU Hotels & Resorts, we want to be your hosts on this journey. On the RIU blog, we believe comfort is key after a night of adrenaline, which is why we offer you the strategic location and the rest you deserve. We present to you the most anticipated events of 2026 and the hotels where your stay will be as memorable as the show itself.
Madrid: The energy of Bad Bunny and the Gran Vía skyline
Madrid is consolidating its position as one of the essential stops on international tours. This June 2026, the Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano will vibrate with Bad Bunny, an unmissable event for those seeking the latest rhythm.
Your hotel in Madrid is the Hotel Riu Plaza España. Located on the emblematic Gran Vía, it places you in the heart of the city. Before heading out to the concert, we invite you to go up to our 360º terrace to watch the sunset over the Madrid skyline; it is, without a doubt, the perfect prelude to a great night.
London: The legendary return of Bon Jovi in September
If there is an event that will mark the calendar for September 2026, it is the concert by Bon Jovi in London. The British capital, always at the musical forefront, is preparing to welcome the band to one of the most exciting events of the year. Feeling the chords of their classics in a city with so much history is an experience every rock lover must live.
For this event, the Hotel Riu Plaza London Victoria is your best choice. Its proximity to the main transport hubs will allow you to move around London with total ease towards the event venue. After a night singing generational anthems, our modern facilities will offer you the silence and comfort needed to recharge your batteries.

New York and Chicago: The magnetism of Ariana Grande and Rosalía
New York always has a special magnetism, but in July, with the arrival of Ariana Grande, the city reaches an extra level of sophistication. The Hotel Riu Plaza New York Times Square places you at the epicentre of the action, allowing you to enjoy the Big Apple in style.
On the other hand, the avant-garde of Rosalía will arrive at the United Center in Chicago in June. To enjoy the “Windy City”, we suggest the new Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago. Located near the Magnificent Mile, its contemporary design is the perfect reflection of the creativity you will see on stage.
Mexico: The rhythm of J Balvin and the relaxation of the Caribbean
Mexico welcomes J Balvin with unparalleled energy. If you plan to attend his concert in the capital, at RIU we suggest the master plan: combine the urban rhythm with a few days of total disconnection by the sea.
We think it’s a good idea to choose to travel to Cancún after the event. At the Riu Palace Kukulkan, under the All Inclusive concept, you will be able to relax in the turquoise waters and let the Caribbean breeze be the perfect end to your trip or immerse yourself in our Riu Party events to continue your musical experience.
