Duran Duran in Madrid: meet by Sol before and after the show

Duran Duran bring the Free To Love Tour to the Movistar Arena on Friday 6 November. If you're coming in from abroad or from across town, Puerta del Sol is the easiest place to gather the group first and to land afterwards.

The gig

  • Duran Duran, Free To Love Tour
  • Friday 6 November 2026, 21:00 (Madrid time)
  • Movistar Arena, Madrid

Date and start time are as listed on the Movistar Arena programme. Check your ticket for door times and entry details.

Before the show: gather the group at Sol

Friends arriving from different hotels, flights or neighbourhoods? Pick one central spot and share the pin. O'Connell St is at Calle de Espoz y Mina 7, a couple of minutes' walk from Puerta del Sol, and on Fridays we open at 16:00, so there's plenty of time for a pint while the last of the crew turns up.

From Sol, Metro Line 2 runs direct to Goya, the stop for the Movistar Arena, with no change of line. Leave yourself enough time to get through the doors before 21:00.

After the show: back to the centre

When the encore is done, take Line 2 back to Sol and walk round the corner to Espoz y Mina 7. On Fridays O'Connell St stays open until 03:30, so there's time to talk through the setlist with the rest of the group. It's an Irish pub near Sol to meet up before the gig, wherever you came from.

Opening times for every day are on the location page, and the rest of the week's events are on What's On.
