Lebanese-Colombian superstar Shakira will wrap up the historic Mexican trek of her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" Tour with a bang on March 1, giving a free concert at the heart of Mexico City, the Zócalo, where she is set to return after nearly 20 years.
The superstar announced the show on Friday in a video message shared on her Instagram.
“¡México lindo! Remember 2007 when I sang for you at the Zócalo? Today, I want to tell you that this experience will happen again this Sunday, March 1, at 8:00 PM,” Shakira said. “You have given me so, so much, and I hope I can give back a little bit of that love you’ve given me.”
The head of government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, reinforced the announcement with a video shared on her social media, in which she appears alongside Daniel Concenzo, president of Grupo Modelo, the concert’s sponsor.
“Shakira is an extraordinary Latin artist who has triumphed worldwide, and here in Mexico, we love her very much,” Brugada said in her message.
“We will be broadcasting part of the show live on my channels, for everyone who wants to join in this celebration,” Shakira continued.
In addition to the Zócalo, the 48-year-old superstar will arrive at another of the most emblematic and crowded stages in the world on May 2, the iconic Brazilian beach of Copacabana, where organizers expect the attendance of at least one million people, as happened with Madonna in 2024 and Lady Gaga in 2025.
The show in Mexico’s main public square will crown a historic series of concerts by the Barranquilla-born artist in the Latin American country, which began in March 2025 and has included 31 dates in various cities, 12 of them at the capital’s Estadio GNP Seguros.
The 13th date at this iconic venue is scheduled for February 27. Before arriving in Mexico City, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer will perform on Saturday, February 21 in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, and on February 24 in Mérida, Yucatán.
"Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" set a Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing tour by a Hispanic artist of all time, grossing a staggering $421.6 million and selling 3.3 million tickets across 86 reported shows.
Mexico City’s Zócalo is considered an emblematic and highly significant venue, a square full of symbolism where politics, social movements, culture and religion converge.
It is the second-largest public plaza in the world, only behind Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
Shakira debuted at the Zócalo on May 27, 2007, when she drew a crowd of 210,000 people surpassing the previous record of 170,000 set by the Mexican rock band Café Tacvba in 2005.
The attendance record is currently held by the Argentine band Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, who gathered 300,000 people on June 3, 2023. In second place is Grupo Firme, which brought together 280,000 people a year earlier.
