Shakira‘s fans will have to wait a bit longer to see her perform live again, but the good news is that many more will be able to do so.
The Colombian superstar announced on Friday (Oct. 18) that the North American leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour will move from arenas to stadiums due to high demand. Instead of starting in November, it will be postponed to May 2025.
“The demand for tickets and more shows has reached the point that our tour now requires stadiums in the USA and more dates so I can see as many of you as possible,” Shakira wrote in a statement posted on her Instagram stories. “As a result, we’re elevating my North America run from arenas to stadiums and the dates will be shifted to May 2025, right after my Latin American tour”.
Shakira announced in April that the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour would begin on Nov. 2 in Palm Desert, California. Earlier this month, she announced dates for Latin America, starting February in Brazil and making stops in Mexico, Chile, Argentina and more countries.
The new dates for North America will be announced on Monday.

It also scored a Latin Grammy nomination for album of the year.
Read Shakira’s full statement below:
My dear fans,
Your incredible support since my tour announcement has truly been extraordinary, and it’s already making this the biggest tour of my career.
As Live Nation communicated earlier, the demand for tickets and more shows has reached the point that our tour now requires stadiums in the USA and more dates so I can see as many of you as possible.
The production of my show is now also so much larger and unlike anything I’ve done before. As a result, we’re elevating my North America run from arenas to stadiums and the dates will be shifted to May 2025, right after my Latin American tour. Get ready — cities and states will be announced on Monday!
I know many of you have made big efforts to be a part of these shows. Thank you so much for supporting me through this. Your understanding and love means the world to me and helps me to continue breaking barriers.
I’ll be waiting for you with great anticipation. I promise to make it worth the wait and deliver the best show of my life!
With all my love and gratitude,
Shakira
