PHOENIX – Less than three weeks before Shakira was scheduled to perform in Phoenix, the Latin pop queen delayed her North American tour until next year.

As a result, the concert originally scheduled for Nov. 7 at Footprint Center has been postponed until June 22, 2025.

In April, Shakira announced that her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour” would start Nov. 2 in Palm Desert, California. The Phoenix show was going to be the second date of the Colombian star’s first major tour since 2018.

Why did Shakira postpone North American tour until 2025?

But on Friday, the singer said the North American leg would be rescheduled until after her Latin American tour to accommodate the high demand for tickets.

The new dates were announced Monday, with many of the shows getting relocated from arenas to larger stadiums.

The Phoenix show, however, didn’t change venues, although it was moved from front of the tour to the tail end, ahead of only three other dates. A limited number of tickets are still available for the Footprint Center concert through Ticketmaster.

Shakira hasn’t performed in Arizona since a show at the outdoor venue now known as Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix in August 2018.
