Shakira announces dates for North American leg of world tour
Shakira has announced details of the North American leg of her upcoming world tour – check out the full list of dates so far below.
The singer first confirmed the existence of the tour during her appearance at Coachella over the weekend.
She appeared as a surprise guest during Bizarrap’s set on the Sahara Stage on Friday (April 12), where they performed their collab tracks ‘La Fuerte’ and ‘Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol 53’.
“Thank you for inviting me, Bizarrap,” she said at one point. “To be honest, it is amazing to be here with this crowd and with you, who’s my friend and colleague. Today, I cannot contain myself, I have to tell you something”.
“Biza, I am going on tour. I am finally going on tour! Starting here this November, this year in this city. I can’t wait. I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.”
And now, a string of 14 dates have been announced, to take place in November and December this year. She is set to kick things off at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, and continue on until December 15 at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

In a four-star review of Shakira’s new album ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’, NME wrote: “With a career that spans four decades, she continues to push the envelope for Latin pop music and make the genre a global event. All her previous records had at least one song in English, but this time, she opts to sing fully in Spanish. With this vulnerable yet versatile collection, Shakira shows there are no limits to the art of her catharsis through song.”
Shakira also recently played a huge free pop-up show in New York’s Times Square, in front of a relatively impromptu crowd of 40,000.
