Shakira concert canceled in Washington DC a day after nixed show in Boston Show Caption Hide Caption Shakira cancels Boston concert hours before showtime Hours before doors opened, ticket seller Live Nation announced that the Shakira and Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn concert had been cancelled. Cover Media A day after her Boston concert was canceled, Shakira's tour is suffering another setback. The popstar's scheduled show in Washington, D.C. — which was part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour and WorldPride DC 2025's Welcome Concert — on May 31 has also been canceled. The reasoning was "due to complications with the previous show in Boston," according to a statement released by Nationals Park May 30. "Shakira's full tour production cannot be transported to Washington, D.C. in time for her scheduled performance," the statement read. "As a result, the D.C. show has been canceled. Despite every effort to make it happen, it is not possible to move forward as planned." Ticketholders will automatically receive refunds for Ticketmaster and purchases. Those who purchased from a third party should contact the seller. Shakira shared a statement about her heartbreak over the show's cancellation, writing, "Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am sad and heartbroken that I will not be able to be in Washington, D.C. with you tomorrow. I hope that I can come back to D.C., as soon as I am able. "Meanwhile, please know that I am eternally thankful for your unconditional support." Why Shakira's Boston concert was canceled In a May 30 statement to USA TODAY, Live Nation said the cancelation of several shows at Fenway Park was due to issues discovered during routine checks before the Shakira show. "Structural elements were identified as not being up to standard, so the shows were canceled. All team members are safe," the statement said. The issue also affected upcoming shows from Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn. Shakira is next scheduled to perform in Atlanta June 2. The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour kicked off in South America in February and began its North American leg May 13. Opening up about the work that went into the tour, Shakira recently told USA TODAY, "I've worked so much on every detail of this show. I'm building the biggest setlist of my career. "There are going to be visuals I created, the narrative and the details of them. There are 145 people on this tour to make it happen every night," she explained. "I've created original music for the transitions in the show, new choreography and arrangements. I have 13 costume changes, so all of what I've learned these years of making music, I feel like this is a recap of that journey." Contributing: Anthony Robledo and Melissa Ruggieri, USA TODAY

Shakira's Boston concert cancelled at last minute
Shakira's concert in Boston, Massachusetts on Thursday night (29.05.25) was cancelled just hours before she was due to take to the stage. The pop superstar had been due to take her 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour' to the city's fabled Fenway Park venue, but the gig was called off at the last minute with organisers offering refunds and putting the cancellation down to "unforeseen circumstances". Another concert featuring Jason Aldean and Brooks Dunn scheduled for Friday (30.05.25) was also scrapped. A statement posted on Fenway Park's social media pages explained: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Shakira and Jason Aldean and Brooks Dunn performances originally scheduled for May 29th and May 30th, respectively, at Fenway Park have been canceled. Refunds will be available at your point of purchase. We apologize for the inconvenience." No further details were given but reports suggest the gigs were cancelled due to structural problems at the venue. A source told PEOPLE: "During a routine pre-show check, structural elements were identified as not being up to standard, so the shows were canceled. All team members are safe." A number of comments posted on Fenway's social media statement suggested there was a problem with the stage roof, but officials have not commented on the suggestion. Both shows were part of the Fenway Concert Series which was due to kick off with Shakira's show on Thursday (29.05.25). The concert series runs until September and also features acts including Hozier, The Lumineers, the Jonas Brothers, Chris Brown, The Who, and My Chemical Romance. Hozier is the next act due to take to the stage at Fenway Park with two gigs scheduled for 23 and 24 June. Shakira had already travelled to Boston before the show was cancelled. She announced her arrival in the city on Wednesday (28.05.25) by sharing a picture of a table full of sweet treats on her Instagram page and writing: "Hello, Boston! What a sweet welcome!" The pop star is due to return to the stage on Saturday (31.05.25) at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. The 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour' kicked off in Brazil in February and the North American leg of the tour started in Charlotte, North Carolina on May 13 . It will include stops in cities such as Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and more before concluding on June 30 in San Francisco, California. The tour will then go to Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Peru.
