Love, music and freedom: this was the only concert in Spain of the Mexican diva, who turned her show into a collective party for the LGTBIQ+ community
In the middle of Pride week and with all tickets sold out, Gloria Trevi landed in Madrid like a hurricane. It was his only stop in Spain on his European tour, and boy did he make it count.
Between rainbow flags and vibrating hearts, Trevi offered a show of almost two hours that combined sparkles, screams, confessions and a lot of Latin power, making it clear that it continues to be a symbol for the entire LGTBIQ+ community… and for anyone who has loved with rage, cried with rage, or danced with rage.
A concert with a message (and many heels)
The Mexican artist opened with Medusa —and yes, the title already gives clues— in a start as explosive as her sky-high heels. From there, everything went up. He alternated classics like With our eyes closed or Old Shoes with songs from his latest album, The flight, released in April.
“In a time where there is talk of war, hatred and discrimination, here we are thousands of souls talking about love, equality and music,” he said on stage.
The most intimate Trevi (and also the most unleashed)
Between songs, Trevi not only changed costumes (there were sequins, leather, chiffon and even retro wigs). It also opened the soul: “Why do we put up with bullshit from those who don’t deserve it? Because we are afraid of loneliness.”
Then came The Favor of Solitude, with a heartbreaking performance that made your hair stand on end. Does it make you think of someone? Yes, to all of them.
And suddenly… Open up bitches! And there was no one sitting there. Glory in goddess, diva, rockstar and shepherd of chaos mode. A combination that only she knows how to handle.
Nebulossa, angels and a Eurovision ‘Zorra’
One of the most applauded moments was when Nebulossa, a Spanish duo that turned Eurovision upside down with Zorra, joined the stage. Together, Trevi and Nebulossa put on a real party, shouting that “they didn’t win… they won!”

There was also room for tenderness, like when he dedicated Your Guardian Angel to his children. His son Ángel Gabriel was even in the audience. An intimate, soft moment full of emotion.
90s finale with hair philosophy included
The final part of the show was pure nostalgia with a punk vibe. Dr. Psychiatrist, The damage count and, of course, Let your hair down, with a reflection that sounds like a life slogan: “Loose hair is not a hairstyle, it is a philosophy.”
And when it seemed like everything was over, she returned dressed in silver for an encore that included a nod to ABBA (Dancing Queen, obviously) and the classic that everyone was waiting for: Everyone’s looking at me.
With the LGTBIQ+ flag raised high and an unstoppable smile, closed a night that was much more than a concert: it was a declaration of intentions, free love and resistance with brilliance.
Gloria Trevi showed that she is still a performing force. And that, at 57 years old, she is not afraid to be vulnerable, political, controversial or ridiculously brilliant. A night full of screams, tears, sequins… and a lot of love. The good one. Of the combative. The one who does not ask permission.
