Shakira wasn't lying when she announced on social media: “se viene la loba” (the wolf is coming). The Colombian superstar revealed the dates for the 2024 North American leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour on Tuesday (April 16), after revealing the big news during her surprise Coachella weekend appearance.
The tour, in support of her new album of the same name, will begin on November 2nd in Palm Desert, California and conclude on December 15th in Detroit, Michigan. During the 14 arena trek, he will also visit Los Angeles, Miami and New York, to name a few. (tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. local time on April 22, here).
Shakira first shared the news on Friday (April 12) at Coachella, where she was a surprise guest during Bizarrap's first performance. Immediately after performing “La Fuerte” and before singing “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” (her two collaborative efforts with the Argentine hitmaker), she said: “I have to share something today. Biza, I'm going on tour. I'm going on tour, finally…starting here, this November, this year, this city. I can not wait. I couldn't ask for more.”
The tour — marking her first since her 2018 El Dorado World tour — supports her 12th studio album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums charts (dated April 6 ), as well as in No. 13 on the Billboard 200 all-genre chart.
As we patiently wait for fall to come, Advertising sign has curated five things we'd like to see on Shakira's new tour.

The grand opening

If “La Loba se viene” is any indication, it only makes sense that Shakira kicks off her concerts by performing a bilingual version of “Loba” (“She Wolf”). Her 2009 banger, which got into many Advertising sign charts, including the Hot 100, Hot Latin Songs and Tropical Songs, is the ultimate dance track perfect to set the mood for the rest of the night. “She Wolf” also represents what Shakira embodies: a woman with strong family values, resilience and strength. Now if he can get to singing the song over a big wolf on stage – that would be pretty epic!

It's no surprise that Shakira will be performing all of her latest hits live for the first time. We can't wait to sing and dance to songs like 'Te Felicito', 'Monotonía', 'Copa Vacía' and 'Puntería' — all by her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran album. But we're also hoping for a walk down memory lane.
We're keeping our fingers crossed for a special comeback set — where she'll perform some of her brooding rock tunes from the '90s. His dream version will include 'Ciega, Sordomuda', 'Ojos Así', 'Estoy Aquí', 'Inevitable' and 'Antologia', to name a few.

Surprise visitors

Now, we know that Shakira can dominate the stage and sell out arenas on her own, but it would also be nice to see her bring in some surprise guests. Some we'd especially like to see her on stage are Alejandro Sanz, for an epic performance of “La Tortura” and “Te Lo Agradezco Pero No,” Karol G for the ultra-powerful “TQG,” Cardi B for flirting and feel good “Puntería” — and why not? Beyoncé (“Beautiful Liar”) and/or Rihanna (“Can't Remember to Forget You”) too.

Her Talented Offspring

Another sweet moment on the tour would be if Shakira called her talented sons on stage. The two boys first showed off their singing skills in the heartfelt song “Acróstico” (third single off Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran), where they collaborated with their mom. Her older son Milan has also been seen on social media performing with his school band, where he plays drums.

The grand finale

And, since Shakira made her tour announcement during Bizarrap's Coachella set, it only makes sense that she'd invite him on stage (if possible for the entire tour) to close the show with their 2023 banger “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53.” The track peaked at No. 9 on the Hot 100 and peaked at No. 2 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. US charts. It also dominated the Hot Latin Songs chart, marking Shakira her 12th leader on table.
