Shakira has announced two additional performance dates in Mexico for her touring effort, bringing her total shows in the country to 28. The concerts will be held in Mexico City and Veracruz. The announcement further establishes her record at Estadio GNP Seguros. Shakira’s tour has achieved significant success, topping Billboard’s Top Tours with impressive sales figures.

Shakira has made headlines once again by announcing two additional concert dates for her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour in Mexico, set for September 18 and 24. This brings the total to 28 shows in the country for this tour, further solidifying her record. The first added date will take place at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros, and the second will mark her very first performance in Veracruz at Estadio Luis Pirata Fuente.

In a press release, promoter OCESA pointed out that with these two new shows, Shakira has now become the artist with the most performances at the famed Estadio GNP Seguros. Shakira expressed her excitement and gratitude through an Instagram post, saying, “My beautiful Mexico! 12 shows at Estadio GNP! Thank you, thank you, and thank you again for continuing to break records with me. See you soon. I love you!!” In the post, she was seen holding a plaque recognizing her impressive milestone.

The second leg of her ongoing tour kicks off early in August, starting at Estadio Caliente in Tijuana on the 11th and moving through several venues, ultimately returning to Mexico City for a total of 12 appearances at GNP Seguros. This record-breaking number of shows will be achieved on August 26, 27, 29, and 30, along with September 18, marking a significant milestone for any artist at this venue, previously known as Foro Sol.

Shakira’s tour has not only captivated the audiences but also driven impressive ticket sales. It propelled her to the top of Billboard’s Top Tours ranking, bringing in $32.9 million from 282,000 tickets sold just in February. The following month proved even more lucrative, as she made history for the highest earnings in a single March with $70.6 million from 11 reported shows, a record since the inception of Billboard Boxscore in 2019.

The impact of her tour extends beyond sales numbers. Shakira has drawn over one million fans across Latin America. Her influence was further recognized as she was named the No. 1 among Billboard’s Best 50 Female Latin Pop Artists of All Time earlier this year. Her journey through the tour continues to be a remarkable one in the world of music.

Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has shattered records with her recent announcement of two new concert dates in Mexico, which adds to her impressive tally. Her success in attracting massive audiences, coupled with her notable financial figures, solidifies her status as a leading figure in the music industry. She now holds the record for the highest number of shows in the iconic Estadio GNP Seguros, marking a monumental achievement in her career.
