Shakira is coming to Atlantic City
One of the biggest Hispanophone pop stars on the planet, she is playing relatively smaller venues on the American leg of her tour before embarking on the arena-sized European leg.
Atlantic City has its show of the summer.
Colombian pop superstar Shakira will play Boardwalk Hall on July 25. The concert is part of an intimate - by Shakira standards - 13 show run in U.S. arenas on the tour for her 2024 album La Mujeres Ya No Lloran.
The Shakira tour - whose title translates from Spanish as “Women No Longer Cry” - is major get for Atlantic City. The casino resort town’s Visit AC promotional arm is making a renewed pop music push to drive tourism, with the concert by Australian electronic music trio Rüfüs Du Sol on Aug. 29 the first oversized concert on the beach since 2023.
Shakira - who has won 4 Grammys, 15 Latin Grammys, speaks seven languages and had her biggest hit with the 2006 Wyclef Jean collaboration “Hips Don’t Lie” — has been filling stadiums around the world on the La Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour.
As one of the biggest Hispanophone pop stars on the planet - along with Bad Bunny - the current Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominee is playing 11 shows in September and October in Madrid in a 50,000 plus purpose-built venue in a park that’s being called ‘Shakira Stadium.’
But for her summer U.S. tour, which is timed to coincide with the FIFA World Cup taking place in North American cities, including Philadelphia - she is bringing the big time production to smaller than usual venues, such as Boardwalk Hall, which hold just under 15,000.
The La Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour also has dates in Baltimore on July 6, Newark, N.J. July 16, Brooklyn on July 20 and Belmont Park, N.Y. on July 23. There is no Philadelphia date.
Tickets first go on sale via Citi and Verizon pre-sales on April 9, and general on sale is Thursday April 9 at 10 a.m. via Shakira.com.
