Shakira returns to the Zócalo with a historic setlist and record-breaking numbers
After months of anticipation, Colombian artist Shakira starred in an unprecedented event in Mexico City. Her performance at the Zócalo marked not only the end of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour in Mexico but also solidified her legacy as one of the most influential artists in Latin America. The news about Shakira at the Zócalo drew global attention when record-breaking figures were confirmed: 400,000 attendees gathered on the city square, surpassing the previous record of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs with 300,000 people.
This performance by Shakira represented the culmination of a memorable chapter in Mexico, after the singer of “Antología” set the record for the most dates at GNP Seguros Stadium (formerly Foro Sol), with 13 shows scheduled between 2025 and 2026. Each of these performances was part of a deliberate strategy by the artist to deeply connect with her Mexican audience.
The personalized setlist: how Shakira adapts her shows by city
In today’s landscape of major international tours, it is increasingly common for headlining artists to create unique experiences for each location. This approach has been adopted by figures like Bad Bunny, who significantly varies his setlist at each date of his global performances. Shakira has followed a similar path, establishing personalization as a hallmark of her tour.
During her previous concerts at GNP Seguros Stadium, the Colombian singer surprised her fans by performing “¿Dónde estás corazón?”, a song not featured in other tour dates. This variation strategy was replicated at the Zócalo, where she again performed this special piece and also hosted a live collaboration with artist Beéle, performing a song not yet officially released.
The songs included in her performance were:
It’s worth noting that several of these performances were presented in mariachi versions, thanks to the confirmed participation of the Gama Mil ensemble, who accompanied “La Loba” in various acts, blending the original proposal with traditional Mexican elements.
Fans’ passion: intense preparations before the event
The scale of the event was evident in the dedication shown by Shakira’s fans. Starting February 28, followers began setting up around the Zócalo, seeking the best positions to witness the show. The days leading up saw long lines stretching through multiple streets surrounding the square.
Many attendees chose to set up improvised camps, a strategy that allowed them to protect themselves from the weather while holding their spot. At dawn on Sunday, June 1, when the gates opened, the crowd entered the central plaza and quickly moved toward the stage area to get the best possible views.
Practical information: schedule and streaming options
The Colombian artist’s performance at the iconic Zócalo was scheduled for Sunday, June 1, starting at 8:00 PM. In context, Shakira had announced months earlier: “Beautiful Mexico, since 2007 I haven’t sung for you at the Zócalo; now it’s going to happen again. You’ve given me so much love, and I hope to return it for everything you’ve done for me in my career.” This statement highlighted the emotional significance of her return to the Plaza de la Constitución.
It’s also relevant to mention that the Zócalo/Tenochtitlán station on Line 2 of the Metro remained closed until further notice during the event, a detail communicated to attendees beforehand.
Regarding online coverage, those who couldn’t attend in person had several options. Shakira’s performance at the Zócalo was streamed through her official social media channels: Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Additionally, in previous Zócalo events, the YouTube channels of Capital 21 and GOBCDMX have been used for broadcasting, although no official confirmation was given for this event’s live stream through those channels.
