Shakira Completes a Record 12 Dates at Mexico’s GNP Seguros Stadium

Shakira wrapped up her historic series of 12 concerts at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City on Thursday (Sept. 18), marking the most shows from a single tour performed at the iconic venue formerly known as Foro Sol.

The Colombian superstar made history by selling out the capital’s stadium 12 times during her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, drawing 65,000 people each night, according to figures from promoter OCESA, for a total of 780,000 tickets sold. The previous record at the stadium was held by Grupo Firme, with nine shows. Bad Bunny is set to perform eight nights in December as part of his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS tour.

“My last show in Mexico City. Truly, 12 concerts at GNP Stadium, not even in my wildest dreams,” a visibly emotional Shakira said during the show. “Thank you, because this wouldn’t have been possible without you. This has been a true gift that I will never forget.”

Shakira’s final night in the capital carried an air of nostalgia and farewell for both the artist and her audience, who passionately sang along to the nearly 30 songs in the setlist. “I want the whole world to know that Mexico is magical,” the Barranquilla native exclaimed at one point as a gesture of gratitude.

As she had announced days earlier on social media, Mexican singer Danna joined her again on stage for “Soltera” on Thursday, marking the second time the song was performed live during the tour. The track recently won the 2025 MTV Video Music Award for best Latin.

With the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour, Shakira has left her mark on Mexico City — not only because of the special bond she established with her local and international fans, but also for the cultural, social and economic impacts her show had. The singer-songwriter began the first Mexican stretch of the tour in March, with seven dates at the GNP Seguros Stadium. In a second leg, she added five more shows between August and September at the same venue.

Throughout her performances, Shakira welcomed special guests, including Grupo Frontera for a live rendition of “(Entre Paréntesis)” on March 25, the aforementioned Danna for “Soltera” on Aug. 26 and Sept. 18, and Mexican star Belinda for “Día de Enero” on Aug. 30.

Shakira achieved another milestone in July by selling one million tickets in Mexico as part of the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, according to OCESA, from a total of 28 dates she is close to completing. The Mexican leg of the tour will conclude on Sept. 24 at the Luis Pirata Fuente Stadium in Veracruz, marking the first time the singer will perform in that city.
