Shakira’s Pyramids Concert Set for Nov. 28
Colombian pop star Shakira will stage a concert against the backdrop of the Great Pyramids of Giza on Nov. 28, 2024. The show is part of her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” world tour and is presented by Venture Lifestyle, the entertainment firm that has previously organized concerts for Jennifer Lopez, John Legend and Katy Perry in the region. Tickets are on sale through official channels.
Return to a Historic Stage
The performance marks Shakira’s first appearance in Egypt in almost two decades, following a 2007 concert at the same site during her “Oral Fixation” tour. The pyramids—“the only surviving wonder of the ancient world”—have become a sought-after venue for international artists, blending contemporary music with a millennia-old heritage.
Official Statement from Shakira
“I’m very happy to be performing in Egypt, at the Pyramids of Giza. I love you all.” — Shakira, singer-songwriter
Event Logistics & Partnerships
Originally slated for April 7, the concert was postponed to Nov. 28 because promoters cited “the situation in the region” amid heightened tensions following the U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran. Venture Lifestyle, active in the Middle East since 2018, will handle production, drawing on experience with large-scale music and Formula 1 events.
Why the Concert Matters
Staging a pop concert at a UNESCO World Heritage site underscores the growing trend of pairing global music acts with iconic cultural landmarks, potentially boosting tourism and reinforcing Egypt’s profile as a destination for high-profile live entertainment. The event also highlights Shakira’s continued relevance, linking her latest tour to a venue that first amplified her international stature nearly twenty years ago.
