Shakira will perform in front of the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt on November 28, nearly two decades after she first played the iconic site during her 2007 Oral Fixation tour. The show, presented by Venture Lifestyle, which has previously staged events there with Jennifer Lopez, John Legend and Katy Perry, marks one of the most distinctive concert settings in the world, according to Billboard.
"I'm very happy to be performing in Egypt, at the Pyramids of Giza. I love you all," Shakira said in a statement about the upcoming show.
The November date is a reschedule. The concert was originally planned for April 7 but was pushed back due to what promoters described as "the situation in the region," following the U.S. and Israel's war against Iran.
The pyramids show is part of Shakira's ongoing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour. Before heading to Egypt, she has several other major appearances on her calendar. On July 19, she will take the stage at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for the first-ever FIFA World Cup final halftime show. That performance, curated by Coldplay singer Chris Martin, will also feature Madonna, Justin Bieber, BTS, Burna Boy and Gustavo Dudamel.
Shakira described the event in an interview earlier this week. "It's going to be a shared halftime show … it's going to be pretty historic, five amazing artists, well four amazing artists plus me," she said.
Shakira also performed at the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony last month at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City alongside Burna Boy and J Balvin. She sang "Dai Dai," her official 2026 World Cup anthem, with profits from the song going to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. Of that money, $500,000 will support education programs for children affected by two devastating earthquakes in Venezuela.
Most recently, Shakira was spotted watching the France vs. Morocco World Cup quarterfinal on Thursday, July 9, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. She is scheduled to perform at TD Garden in Boston on Friday, July 10, and Saturday, July 11.
