Shakira shares new North American tour dates after upgrading venues to stadiums
Shakira has announced her new 2025 North American tour dates after upgrading show venues from arenas to stadiums – check out the full list of dates below.
Last Friday (October 18), the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ singer took to social media to announce just two weeks before the commencement of her North American tour that the run of shows was being postponed due to overwhelming demand.
After extraordinary demand from fans for more tickets and more shows, Shakira and Live Nation decided to change all venues of the tour from arenas to larger stadiums. However, these changes would mean that the shows take place at a later date – which have now been confirmed to kick off in May next year.
Shakira wrote on social media last night (October 21): “I’m so excited to share my best show yet with you. Thank you all for supporting and inspiring me to keep pushing myself. I can’t wait to celebrate with you in May!”

In other news, the singer recently settled her $15million Spanish tax fraud case “to protect” her children, “to be by their side” and “get on with her life”.
She addressed her legal battle with Spanish authorities, who accused her of tax evasion between 2012 and 2014 when she was allegedly a resident of the country. The singer denied any wrongdoing, explaining that she agreed to settle to protect her two young sons, 11-year-old Milan and 9-year-old Sasha.
She was hit with the first set of allegations back in 2021 when Barcelona prosecutors claimed Shakira should have been paying taxes as she was living in Spain for a substantial period between 2012 and 2014. The second wave of allegations came in September 2023. The Colombian pop icon was again charged with tax evasion in Spain – this time, the prosecutors claimed she had failed to pay €6.7million (£5.8 million) in tax on her income in 2018.
Last November, Shakira came to an agreement with the Spanish authorities after agreeing to pay the resounding debt to avoid potential prison time.
Since then, she has released her twelfth studio album, ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’. In a four-star review, NME said: “With a career that spans four decades, she continues to push the envelope for Latin pop music and make the genre a global event […] With this vulnerable yet versatile collection, Shakira shows there are no limits to the art of her catharsis through song.”
