Nearly two decades after she first performed in one of the most unique concert settings on the planet, Shakira is returning to the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. The “Dai Dai” singer will set up shop in the shadow of the archaeological treasure on Nov. 28 in a show presented by Venture Lifestyle, which has stage similar events there with JLo, John Legend and Katy Perry.
The gig will be a return of sorts for Shak, who previously performed in front of the Pyramids — the only surviving structure from the original seven wonders of the ancient world — in 2007 during her Oral Fixation tour. Tickets for the November show are available here.
“I’m very happy to be performing in Egypt, at the Pyramids of Giza. I love you all,” Shakira said in a statement about her return to the iconic site.
The pyramids show, part of the singer’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour, was originally scheduled for April 7, but was rescheduled to November due to what promoters called “the situation in the region,” in the wake of the U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran.
Before that, Shakira will take the stage for the first-ever FIFA World Cup final halftime show on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The show, curated by Coldplay singer Chris Martin, will also feature performances from Madonna, Justin Bieber, BTS, Burna Boy and Gustavo Dudamel. “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,” the singer said in an interview earlier this week.
She previously helped open the 2026 FIFA World cup last month when she performed at the opening ceremony in Mexico City at the iconic Azteca Stadium alongside Burna Boy and J Balvin. The singer performed her official 2026 World Cup anthem, “Dai Dai,” whose profits will be donated to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund; $500,000 from that fund will be used to support education intervention for children affected by the recent pair of devastating earthquakes in Venezuela.
Shakira, who was spotted at taking in the France vs. Morocco World Cup quarterfinal game on Thursday (July 9) at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. is slated to take the stage at TD Garden in Boston on Friday (July 10) and Saturday night (July 11).
