Will Shakira Announce a UK Concert?

Last updated: 15 July 2026

Prestige Corporate Events tracks Latin and Spanish-language touring news across the UK, and one of the questions we're asked most this year is whether Shakira will finally play here. Shakira is currently on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, and no UK concert date has been confirmed as of 15 July 2026. The tour's only confirmed major European stop this leg is a 12-date residency in Madrid, running 18 September to 11 October 2026, where the tour concludes. No UK show has been announced alongside it.

Has Shakira announced a UK concert?

Shakira's Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour is confirmed to run through 11 October 2026, with the Madrid residency as its final stop. However, no UK date sits alongside it: her official channels, major ticketing platforms and independent tour-date trackers were checked directly, and none list a UK show. As of 15 July 2026, that means no UK concert has been announced.

The tour has been running since February 2025, when it opened in Rio de Janeiro, and has moved through multiple continents since. A UK date has never featured on any version of the schedule published so far, which is why this remains the honest answer rather than an assumption. It also explains why the question keeps coming up: a tour of this scale and length invites questions about where it might go next, and the UK is an obvious gap in an otherwise packed schedule.

Where is Shakira playing in 2026?

Shakira's confirmed 2026 schedule is anchored by the final phase of the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour: a 12-date residency in Madrid, running 18 September to 11 October 2026, at a stadium holding more than 50,000 fans a night. By January 2026 the tour had drawn 3.3 million fans and grossed $421.6 million, a Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing Latin tour. Madrid is Shakira's only confirmed major European stop this leg, with no UK date attached.

Before reaching Madrid, the tour played extensively across Latin America, building toward this residency as its closing stretch. Madrid, not London or any other UK city, is where the current tour ends. For context, the Madrid dates sit within the same window as several other major Latin and Spanish-language acts touring the UK this autumn, which is one of the reasons Shakira's absence from that schedule stands out.

What about the UK tour rumours?

The only UK-specific claim we found is a tabloid report from January 2025, attributed to The Sun, saying Shakira had earmarked UK venues for 2026 and naming London, Manchester and Glasgow as possible cities. It carried no quote from Shakira or her team, and eighteen months on, nothing from her own channels, from press coverage or from any tour-date listing has confirmed it. It remains an unconfirmed, dated rumour, not a booking.

Reports like this tend to circulate ahead of any major artist's next touring cycle, and this one has had a year and a half to be confirmed or repeated elsewhere. Neither has happened, so it stays exactly what it was when it was first published: a single, unconfirmed newspaper claim. Treat any similar claim the same way: a named source and a date are a good sign a rumour is being handled honestly, and their absence is a good reason to be sceptical.

Where would a UK date be announced first?

If a UK date is ever announced, it will surface first through Shakira's own official channels and the major music press that reports her team's announcements, not through resale platforms or aggregator listings. This page reflects the position as of the last-updated date above and will be revised if that changes, but the current answer is that no UK date exists yet.
