# Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour

The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour is the seventh ongoing concert tour by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, in support of her twelfth studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (2024). The stadium tour commenced on 11 February 2025 at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and is currently scheduled to conclude on 16 November 2025 at Estadio Nacional in Lima, Peru. It is her first tour in seven years after her El Dorado World Tour (2018).

## Background and development

Following her halftime performance at Super Bowl LIV, Live Nation announced Shakira would tour in 2021. Further news was delayed, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In September 2023, Shakira told Billboard she planned to release new music and embark on a "global tour" in the following year. She told the publication: "Putting a tour together is fun, but it's a great effort and you have to put everything on the balance and decide what the fans really want to hear, what songs you want to hear and how much production you want. In the end, the more production you have, the higher the ticket price. I want the tickets to be affordable. But to me, the most important thing is the repertoire. That's why I think [my next tour] will be the tour of a lifetime, because I have so many songs."
Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran was officially announced by Shakira during her appearance as a special guest during Bizarrap's set at Coachella on 13 April 2024. Three days later, Live Nation announced concerts in North America starting that November, with additional concerts added due to demand in Palm Springs, Miami and New York City, respectively. In October 2024, Shakira's official website revealed concerts in the Latin America region; additional concerts were subsequently added in several cities eight days later.
Shakira announced plans to postpone the North American concerts, citing the "overwhelming demand", as well as the "need for larger venues". Following her announcement, the upgraded concerts and venues were announced for May and June 2025 by Live Nation. Additional concerts in Atlanta, Houston and Phoenix were announced on 10 December 2024. On 5 February 2025, it was announced Shakira would headline the Sueños Music Festival. Later that month, it was announced Brazilian DJ Dennis would serve as a supporting act for the tour's opening night. Billboard reported a "an exclusive and unique performance" from the 20 February concert will be featured as part of the Lo Nuestro Awards on Univision. On 14 February, a concert in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, was announced. On 16 February, Shakira cancelled her concert in Lima, Peru, for that same day, due to hospitalization; a rescheduled date was announced the following day, with a third concert added.
On 25 February 2025 Chilean singer Antonella Sigala was announced as the supporting act for the shows in Santiago; the concerts were postponed the evening of the first show. Natalie Pérez served as the supporting act for the 7 and 8 March 2025 concerts in Buenos Aires. On 14 March, new dates for the postponed concerts in Santiago and Medellin were announced; one additional concert was announced in both cities.

## Production

Rehearsals for the tour started around mid-August 2024, with Shakira announcing them with a series of pictures through her social networks. On another teaser from Shakira through Instagram, aimed at Latin America, the singer performs at Electric Air Studios a new arrangement for her 1997 single "Antología," accompanied by her longtime collaborator, Luis Fernando Ochoa. In late October, Shakira posted, also through her Instagram account, another teaser video, this time aimed at North America, singing at the same aforementioned studio her 1996 hit single "Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos." During an interview for Brazilian website GShow, Shakira revealed the latter song, plus other signature hits of hers, such as "Estoy Aquí" and "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", would be included to the set list, with the tour being described by herself as "the biggest show of [her] career, the most comprehensible one," whose rehearsals include a daily 12-14 hour full schedule of preparations along with her crew, to perform "these most, most relevant concerts of [her] musical lifetime." Later on, she also revealed the members for her band, most of them already longtime collaborators of her, such as musical director and guitarist Tim Mitchell, drummer Brendan Buckley and piano and keyboard player Albert Menéndez, with also the addition of bass player Donald Alford II.
In an interview for GQ España, Shakira has described the current process of her tour: "It's the most ambitious tour of my entire career, the biggest production I've had so far. Not because the public asks for it, but because I deserve it after so many years working in this world. I deserve the tour of my life. I'm throwing the house out the window. I am happy because I will be able to take a tour of the different stages of my artistic life, until today. It will be the longest show I’ve ever done with the biggest screen and everything you can imagine. More is more and better!"
On 21 January 2025, Shakira moved from the USA to Mexico to finish her last rehearsals before tour properly kicks off in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Shakira was actively involved in the production, ensuring that every element reflected her "vision". The visuals were handled by Blink. A realistic projection of the singer featured in the visuals was made by Los Angeles-based creative studio Actual Objects. Artist Isabella Mebarak claimed that a likeness analysis of Shakira was conducted to resemble the singer's features. The "first of its kind" CGI animated version of Shakira is shown during the interludes. In her review of opening night, Ludmilla Correia of Billboard suggested the use of artificial intelligence in the on-screen interlude visuals.
The tour features an "elaborate production", including 160’ screens and a diverse set of props, such as a pole attached to a giant "S" used during the "Soltera" performance. This set element was constructed by specialty fabricators ShowFab. According to Chilean media outlet Culto, the cost of producing each concert is estimated to be more than US$3 million. Preparations lasted about 10 months. Attire and accessories were mostly custom-made by fashion houses and designers, such as Indian Anamika Khanna and Atelier Versace. Shakira worked with company Yellow Studio to design "a stage that evolves along with the show". The stage includes hydraulic platforms and a 25-meter ramp. The creative direction for the stage was handled by The Squared Division.

## Ticket sales

In North America, during the pre-sale period of Shakira's North American arena leg, the tickets of most of the shows were sold out. The tickets vary widely in prices, between circa $200 and $2000 (excluding VIP or other add-on tickets), depending on the cities. Due to overwhelming demand, Shakira added extra shows in Palm Springs, Miami and New York City. Meanwhile, her shows in Phoenix, Inglewood, San Antonio, Dallas, Charlotte, Washington DC, Chicago were mostly sold out. In Miami, she was supposed to extend the record of being the female artist to perform most shows in Kaseya Center, 11 in total. However, the whole leg was moved to May 2025 due to Live Nation's decision to upgrade the several North American shows to stadiums.
In Argentina, Peru and Chile, she broke the record by selling all the tickets in 40 minutes. With multiple shows completely sold out, new dates were promptly added to several cities. In Colombia, the second stadium date in Bogotá was sold out in 1.5 hours. In Barranquilla, Shakira moved the first show date from February 21 to 20 because it crashed with La Guacherna. However, the first date was quickly sold out due to high demand, which prompted the city's mayor, Alex Char, to announce that the carnival celebration would be moved to February 22, so a second date could be scheduled. In total, two million fans registered for the ticket notification. The singer promised she will bring the tour to most of the Latin American countries due to the overwhelming demand.
In Mexico City, she is the first female artist to perform seven sold-out shows at Estadio GNP Seguros, breaking the record previously held by Taylor Swift with four. She is also the first artist to ever perform seven shows of the same tour at the venue, breaking the record previously held by RBD with six. The stadium is named as "Shakira stadium" on Google Map for honouring her record breaking achievement. In an article, Billboard claimed the seven shows in Mexico City would gather crowds of "about 455,000 people in total".

## Impact
### Economy and commerce

In January 2025, LATAM Airlines Group's Brazilian branding announced an additional flight on 12 February of the same year, from Confins Airport to Guarulhos Airport ahead of Shakira's concert the following day, to accommodate the increase in passenger demand. That same month, their Colombian branding added eight additional flights to Barranquilla, from Bogotá and Medellín, to meet the demand for Shakira’s concert and the carnival in her hometown. In a press release, Brazilian travel agency Decolar reported a 67% increase in demand for flights to Rio de Janeiro and a 24% increase in demand for flights to São Paulo during the period of the singer's shows in those cities in relation to the same periods in 2024.

### Local business

Barranquilla's local government estimated that Shakira's shows generated Col$66.8 billion in "economic movement", of which Col$18 billion were "irrigated" by a chain of transactions of local businesses in the city. The Oxford Economics study took into account the subsequent purchases of products and services derived from tourism activities such as hotels, gastronomy, transportation, commerce and services. According to Forbes Colombia, the singer's shows in the country generated an economic impact of approximately Col$206 billion ($US49,6 million).

## Controversy
### Production issues

Several media outlets noted the amount of shows canceled during the South American leg of the tour citing "production and logistic issues". The last-minute cancellations in Medellín and Santiago stirred controversy and speculation.

### Animal abuse allegations faced by Barranquilla City Council

Several Colombian animal rights advocates denounced that more than 100 stray cats that used to live in the surroundings of Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez were allegedly killed by the Alejandro Char administration days prior Shakira's concerts at the venue, in an effort to "embellish" the city for tourists.
