Barcelona was electrified this week by a true musical storm with the grand return of Anastacia.
The queen of sprock set the iconic Paral·lel 62 venue on fire on March 12th and 13th, kicking off her much-anticipated European & UK #NTK25 tour with two electrifying shows packed with raw emotion, nostalgia, and an unbeatable connection with her fans.
With her powerful voice and undeniable charisma, Anastacia celebrated the 25th anniversary of her debut album “Not That Kind” and proved once again why she remains one of the most iconic voices in pop music.
At Hot BuZz (Mag), we had the privilege of attending her second concert in Barcelona. Ready to relive the magic?
Casey McQuillen set the stage with an emotional performance
For this special tour, Anastacia has enlisted the talented Casey McQuillen as the opening act.
The American singer-songwriter and former American Idol contestant warmed up the crowd with an emotional set, featuring songs like Better, In & Out, Talk In My Head, and Favorite.
After the concert, McQuillen took photos and signed memorabilia for her fans.
McQuillen will return to our country with “The Better Tour” for an exclusive concert on October 15th at the same Paral·lel 62 venue in Barcelona.
An explosive start with an Anastacia anthem: One Day in Your Life
Right after 9 PM, and following The Simpsons theme blasting through the speakers, Anastacia stormed the stage with One Day in Your Life, one of her most iconic and danceable hits.
She kept the energy high with Now or Never and Staring at the Sun, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.
With her unmistakable voice and magnetic stage presence, Anastacia instantly captivated the audience.
A setlist packed with nostalgia and Anastacia’s greatest hits
The setlist was an emotional rollercoaster, taking the crowd on a wild ride with anthems like Paid My Dues, Sick and Tired, and Left Outside Alone—each one sending the room into a frenzy.
Then came the more intimate moments, with ballads like Heavy on My Heart and You’ll Never Be Alone, leaving many in the audience deeply moved.
But the real magic happened with the acoustic medley of Secrets, Welcome to My Truth, and How Come the World Won’t Stop.
Anastacia bared her soul, giving fans a raw and personal glimpse of her most vulnerable side.
The band wasn’t to be outdone. They wowed the crowd with a powerful cover of All Right Now by Free, setting the stage for Anastacia’s jaw-dropping performance of Sweet Child o’ Mine by Guns N’ Roses. The audience went absolutely wild with this cover.
True to her playful nature, Anastacia greeted each band member in Spanish, saying “Hola” followed by their name, sparking smiles and applause from the crowd.
A special shoutout to the band, who not only shined with their instrumental brilliance—including frantic guitar solos and slap bass riffs—but also impressed with their stunning backing vocal harmonies, adding that extra spark to the night’s unforgettable performance.
The stage design was impeccable, with a theatrical setup that recreated the entrance of a building, complete with illuminated windows and old-fashioned street lamps.
However, the only drawback was that the stage at Sala Paral·lel 62 was a bit low, making it challenging for those at the back of the venue to fully enjoy the performance at times.
Nonetheless, it was thrilling to experience the concert in such an intimate and cozy setting.
An epic finale with Anastacia’s stunning vocal performance
Just when it seemed the show had reached its peak, Anastacia returned for the encore with Not That Kind, and her iconic anthem I’m Outta Love, getting the entire crowd to sing along in unison.
The highlight of the night came with a powerful a cappella performance, where Anastacia showcased her jaw-dropping vocal range and ability to captivate the audience with nothing but her voice.
An Unforgettable #NTK25 Tour Kickoff
With these two sensational shows in Barcelona, Anastacia (Logan Media Entertainment Ltd.) has set the bar sky-high for the rest of the #NTK25 tour.
Next, the artist is preparing to shine in Madrid on March 15 at the IFEMA Municipal Palace and in Vigo on March 16 at the Auditorio Mar (Live Nation), before continuing her European journey with stops in cities such as Paris, Berlin, and London.
For those who experienced this incredible night, it was truly one for the books.
And for those still waiting to see her live, one thing is certain: Anastacia is back, and her voice remains one of the most powerful in the global music scene today.
