Attention Wolfies! The Latina megastar announced her 2024 worldwide tour during a surprise appearance at Coachella. Here's everything we know so far about Shakira's world tour, including potential UK concert dates and locations. Plus, find out how to be among the first to secure your seat on this highly anticipated tour.
Since beginning her career at 13 years old, Shakira has been an absolute powerhouse in the music industry. She has risen from strength to strength, putting Latin pop on the international map and solidifying herself in the English-language pop world.
Shakira is known as the Queen of Latin Music, and for good reason. As of the beginning of 2024, she had sold 95 certified records worldwide, making her the best-selling Latin female artist of all time according to Billboard.
Her ability to fill the stages with her dominating, sensual and energetic presence rather than relying on huge or exaggerated productions in the background makes the experience of listening to her music live intimate and unforgettable.
During a surprise appearance at Coachella, Shakira made an exciting announcement about her upcoming world tour, 'La Mujeres Ya No Lloran'. The renowned singer joined Argentine DJ Bizarrap on the Sahara stage on Friday 12th April, where they performed their collaborative tracks 'La Fuerte' and 'Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol 53'.
Shakira expressed her gratitude to Bizarrap, stating, "Thank you for inviting me. To be honest, it is amazing to be here with this crowd and with you, who's my friend and colleague." She then revealed, "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."

What songs will Shakira play on her tour?
In the past, Shakira’s world tours have always coincided with the promotion of a new album and the rumours of an upcoming world tour were confirmed both by Keith Sarkisian - WME music partner - and by Shakira in her Billboard interview, it is safe to predict that tracks from the new album will be featured on a potential setlist.
One of Shakira’s most recent songs to smash to the top of the charts is the record-breaking ‘Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53’. The song is an anthemic pop bop that includes multiple references to the breakdown of her past relationship with Gerard Pique and women’s empowerment, and no doubt will be one of the songs played in arenas worldwide.
Her past setlists have usually featured a mixture of whichever album is being promoted, and some of the old classics fans know and love. UK fans will likely have the chance to see the iconic ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ and ‘Whenever, Wherever’ performed live, which both sat for weeks at the top of British charts when they were released.
Fans can look forward to Shakira’s mindset being that “the most important thing is the repertoire”, which is why she told Billboard that believes this upcoming tour to be “the tour of a lifetime, because I have so many songs.”
For the die-hard fan, it will be an unforgettable experience as she runs through her amazing song collection feeling the same emotions: “I’m very excited. Just think, I had my foot on the brakes. Now I’m pressing the accelerator - hard.”
When was the last time Shakira went on tour?
Shakira’s fans have grown used to waiting for the Queen of Latin pop to hit the road, with multiple year-long breaks between her previous tours.
There was a 4-year gap between Shakira’s first big global tour ‘Tour of the Mongoose’ in 2002 and the ‘Oral Fixation Tour’ in 2006.
Her next return to the stage was on her ‘The Sun Comes Out World Tour’ in 2010, and her most recent was the ‘El Dorado Tour’ in 2018.
The excitement surrounding Shakira’s plans for a world tour will also be down to the anticipation fans have built around her new material, and how long it has been since she took to the worldwide stages.
When and where could Shakira tour the UK in 2024?
Although the official dates for Shakira's 'La Mujeres Ya No Lloran' world tour have not yet been disclosed, fans can expect nothing short of an extraordinary experience based on her previous global tours. As of now, only one detail has been revealed: the tour will commence in November 2024 in California.
In her previous world tours, she has always dedicated a fair portion of the dates to European cities, including Madrid, Berlin and Paris. Keith Sarkisian has also confirmed that “her upcoming tour will include arena and stadium shows in nearly two dozen countries across Latin America, North America, the United Kingdom, Europe and the Middle East.”
She hasn’t returned to the UK since her last tour 6 years ago, so she is due a British comeback. Considering that her goal is to embark on her biggest tour yet, it doesn’t seem unlikely that she would have multiple UK dates. Possible destinations could be London, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow, and we predict that she will grace UK stages this autumn or winter.
Who could be performing with Shakira?
No opening acts have been confirmed as of yet. In her past tours, fans have been able to look forward to surprise guests who feature in her new songs. Based on the new album, that could mean an appearance from Cardi B, Karol G, or Bizarrap.
