Kidd Keo reached a defining milestone last night at Madrid’s Movistar Arena, solidifying his place at the top of Spain’s trap scene. The Alicante-born artist, a key figure in Spanish trap who recently triumphed in Mexico with a sold-out show at Mexico City’s Pepsi Center and standout performances in Guadalajara, Tijuana, and the Pal Norte Festival in Monterrey, proved he is the king of the genre in Spain with a powerful live show in front of 8,000 fans who sang along to every song in a unique and very special concert that revisited the most significant tracks of his discography.
As Kidd Keo celebrates 10 years of a career at its peak, he delivered one of the best performances of his life to the Madrid audience. He performed over two dozen songs from across his catalogue, each one reflecting the spirit of an artist who hasn’t settled for being a pioneer in taking Spanish trap around the world — to prestigious stages like COLORS or major international labels — but who, since his debut, has been committed to revitalizing and evolving the genre, whether through high-profile collaborations or by blending it with electronic music or dembow.
That entire rise was felt in the energy of the 8,000 fans packed into Madrid’s Movistar Arena, as the show opened with “Never Knew How To Love” and rolled into a relentless run of hits — including fan-favorites like “Como Vas?”, “Vámonos,” “Bando Boyz Free1,” and “Superstars.” The first half of the night closed, almost prophetically, with “Trapstar” — a moment that seamlessly launched the second act and left no doubt about who wears the trap crown in Spain.
Tracks like “Ebisu,” “Y qué si no hay amor?” and “TouchDown” also made the setlist, before Keo turned the stage into a dancefloor and closed the night with the best songs from his Rockport Espacial saga. “Kikiki,” “Ma Vie,” and “Lollipop”were among the final tracks of a night that, by then, was already on fire in the heart of Madrid. But no portrait of Kidd Keo would be complete without “Dracukeo,” his defiant track aimed at critics — complete with a nod to his viral interview with Jordi Wild.
On one of the most pivotal nights of his career, Kidd Keo wasn’t alone. Joined by close friends and collaborators — Rubius, Patron970, and Swaggglock — the DBT Empire artist delivered a performance worthy of the moment. With a crowd twice the size of his previous shows in the capital, Keo proved he’s not just part of the movement — he’s leading it, seated firmly on the throne that’s rightfully his.
