The headlining concert comes as a part of Shakira’s upcoming Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. After initially intending to bring her shows to arenas around the globe, the singer and Live Nation recently announced that they would be upgrading the She Wolf’s tour to stadium venues. “The demand for tickets and more shows has reached the point that our tour now requires stadiums in the USA and more dates so I can see as many of you as possible,” Shakira wrote in a statement. “We’re elevating my North America run from arenas to stadiums and the dates will be shifted to May 2025, right after my Latin American tour.”

Among the new set of stadium dates Shakira announced on Monday is her headlining set for WorldPride 2025. In a statement, Capital Pride Alliance’s executive director Ryan Bos shared his excitement for the upcoming show. “It’s the biggest event of the year and we are thrilled to welcome Colombian pop legend Shakira to D.C. for a truly momentous evening of love, pride, and community – celebrating the final week of extraordinary celebrations,” he wrote.

Held in different locales each year, WorldPride 2025 will help honor the 50th anniversary of D.C.’s first-ever pride celebrations. Taking place over two weeks (starting on May 23 and ending June 8), the annual celebration will feature multiple concerts, parades, parties and other events to commemorate the occasion.

Tickets for Shakira’s headlining performance at WorldPride 2025, along with the rest of her Las Mujeres tour dates, go on sale Friday, Oct. 25, at 12 p.m. local time on her website. Fans can register for the presale until Tuesday, Oct. 22, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
