Shakira was all set to launch the U.S. leg of her ‘Women Don’t Cry’ tour on November 2nd, but fans will have to wait a bit longer to see her live. The Colombian superstar announced that she’s postponing the tour’s kickoff due to overwhelming ticket demand, allowing her to revamp and improve the production and move the shows to bigger venues. Shakira now plans to reunite with her U.S. fans in May 2025.
The singer shared the news in a statement posted on her social media channels, explaining the reasons behind the change. “To my dear fans, I want to thank you for the extraordinary support you’ve shown me since I announced my tour, which is already shaping up to be the biggest of my career,” Shakira expressed at the start of her message. “As Live Nation has communicated, my production has grown to such a scale, along with the demand for tickets and more shows, that it has exceeded even the most optimistic expectations,” she added.
Unfortunately, following this exciting news, came the disappointment for those planning to attend her U.S. shows. “The North American leg now requires stadiums and additional dates to accommodate more of you, so it has been rescheduled for May 2025. The new dates will be announced this Monday,” she explained.
With all U.S. concerts now pushed to May 2025, it looks like Shakira’s tour will kick off in Peru in February. Meanwhile, the Latin American shows, including nine sold-out dates in Mexico, are still scheduled for March 2025. However, we’re still waiting on official confirmation from her team.

Thank you so much for the love, I’m beyond excited about your response to the tour!” the Colombian singer expressed on Instagram at that time.
