Shakira headlining a concert in Atlanta for first time since 2006
Global pop star Shakira has added more dates to her 2025 North American tour, including a stop at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on June 2.
Tickets go on sale for the general public Dec. 13 via Ticketmaster.
The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer last performed a headlining gig in Atlanta in 2006 at what was then called Phillips Arena and is now State Farm Arena.
Shakira, 47, does not tour often. Her last global tour was in 2018 and did not include Atlanta.
The upcoming tour starts in Rio de Janeiro on Feb. 11 and comes stateside May 13 in Charlotte. This time around, Shakira will showcase songs from her latest album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” alongside iconic hits from her catalog.
In 2022, she spent a week in Covington shooting a short-lived NBC reality dance competition show “Dancing with Myself.” She went viral in 2021 with her series of “Girl Like Me” dances, inspiring the series. She was host and executive producer.
