After two iconic nights in Monterrey, where she brought together more than 100,000 fans with two shows at the BBVA Stadium, Shakira also made history in Guadalajara by bringing together more than 45,000 fans for her first show at the Akron Stadium, and with a completely sold-out second date, tickets sold out in less than two hours.
The show is one of the most important productions in Latin America, and Guadalajara witnessed this, as it is the largest ever staged.
From her iconic entrance with 100 fans escorting her onto the stage as part of “Camina con la Loba” and the opening song “La Fuerte,” which drove the audience wild, to the most intimate moments of the concert, filled with nostalgia and a unique connection with the audience with songs like “Inevitable,” “Antología,” and “Pies Descalzos,” Shakira delivered an unforgettable performance. The setlist encompasses the greatest hits of her career, from Waka Waka to Hips Don’t Lie, reaffirming her legacy in Latin music and global pop.
