Shakira shatters records with Latin America dates

Colombian superstar Shakira has shattered on-sale records for the Latin America leg of her 2025 Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women Don’t Cry Anymore) World Tour.

The star sold out 13 stadiums on the continent last week, with nearly 700,000 tickets sold in less than two hours, according to Ocesa.

More than two million fans had registered for the Latin America leg of the tour – the 47-year-old’s first outing since the 2018 El Dorado World Tour.

Due to the demand, new dates have been added for Monterrey’s BBVA Stadium, Guadalajara’s Akron Stadium and Mexico City’s Seguros Stadium.

The 20-date tour will kick off on 11 February 2025 at Nilton Santos Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and visit Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Peru and Colombia.

The stint will see Shakira deliver four stadium dates in her native Colombia at Metropolitan Stadium (Barranquilla), Atanasio Girardot Stadium (Medellin) and two at El Campin Stadium (Bogota).

It will mark the first time she’s performed in her hometown of Barranquilla in 19 years.

Before heading to Latin America, the star will kick off the North American leg of the tour on 2 November at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California.

The 17-date stint will stop at arenas across the US before wrapping up on 15 December at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

North America and Latin America are currently the only markets confirmed for the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which is in support of her LP of the same name that dropped in March – her first new album in seven years.

Following its release, the set landed at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums chart, a feat that made her the first woman to secure No. 1 albums in four different decades. It recently scored a Latin Grammy nomination for album of the year.

Shakira is represented by WME worldwide.
