United Alive in Madrid is the fourth live album by German power metal band Helloween, released in 2019. The recordings took place during the band's Pumpkins United World Tour (2017–2018), with former members Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen joining Helloween's line-up. This would be the first live album to feature both Kiske and Hansen since 1989's Live in the U.K.. The main concert was recorded on 9 December 2017 at the WiZink Centre in Madrid, Spain and the bonus tracks in Chile, Brazil, Czech Republic and Germany.

The video release United Alive came out on the same day as the live album[4] and contained concert footage filmed during 2017 in Spain and Brazil and during 2018 in Wacken Open Air Festival (Germany). Extra material included bonus concert tracks filmed in Brazil, Czech Republic and Chile, a band interview, as well as LED content and animations shown during the shows.[5]
