Shakira set to perform in India after 19 years, calls it 'special'
Mumbai, Feb 20
Global pop icon Shakira is all set to perform in India after 19 years.
The Colombian superstar will perform in Mumbai on April 10 and in Delhi on April 15, marking the first time the concert will be hosted across two cities. The shows tickets are exclusively managed by District by Zomato.
For the uninitiated, Shakira last performed in India in 2007 during her Oral Fixation Tour in Mumbai. Her visit this year will mark nearly two decades since she last took the stage in India.
Commenting on her return, an excited Shakira said, "Performing in India has always been special to me, and I'm excited to connect with my fans across Mumbai and Delhi. The Feeding India Concert is about more than music; it's about standing together to ensure every child has access to the nutrition they need to thrive."
With a career spanning over three decades, the pop singer remains one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Shakira began her music journey in the early 1990s and rose to global fame with hits such as Whenever, Wherever, Hips Don't Lie, Waka Waka (This Time for Africa), She Wolf, La Tortura, Beautiful Kiara and many more. Shakira has won multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards.
The 49-year-old singer, born on February 2, 1977, continues to command a massive global fan base.

Great that she's performing for a cause like Feeding India. Music with a purpose is always better. Hope the funds raised actually reach the children who need it.
Tickets are way too expensive, yaar. Managed by Zomato? Feels like another cash grab. Wish big artists would have more affordable options for regular fans.
As an expat living in Delhi, this is fantastic news! India's concert scene is getting so international. Shakira in Delhi will be a night to remember.
Respect for her choosing a charity concert. But honestly, I wish our own legendary Indian artists got this much hype and two-city tours. Just a thought.
My childhood is coming back! Hips Don't Lie was the anthem of our college days. Taking my daughter to the show, she's a huge fan too. Generations united by Shakira! ❤️
