A concert scheduled by Shakira for Monday (Feb. 24) in Medelln, Colombia, has been postponed due to safety concerns at the Estadio Atanasio Girardot. Local production had installed a stage with damaged roof.

Shakira C who previously had to cancel another Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour date in Lima, Peru last weekend after being hospitalized for an “abdominal” condition expressed regret regarding this new postponement and shared the news on social media. My people from Medelln! It hurts me a lot not to be able to get on stage and sing for you as much as I wanted to, she wrote in a post on X .

Shakira continued, “My children were excited to explore Medelln, and I was looking forward to meeting up with you again. They had surprises prepared that I can’t wait to share with them. Please forgive me for any inconvenience caused by this change; it’s out of my hands as well as those of the production team. We’re working hard on finding a new date soon to celebrate together.” She added, “I’m truly grateful for your support and hope to see you very soon.”

Pramo Presenta announced that they are planning new concerts in Colombia later this year with Shakiras approval.

The promoter explained the reasons behind canceling Monday’s concert, stating there was a safety risk involving performers, crew members, and audience. During the assembly process of the show scheduled for February 24, damage to the roof installed by local production put artist safety at risk along with staff and audiences, they said in an X statement.
