“This is an unprecedented figure and a statement of impact as powerful as the historic record of her 12 sold-out dates at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City,” OCESA said in a press release. “One million tickets… in a country of 129 million inhabitants!”
The historic figure is the result of the 26 concerts that the Colombian superstar has included in total in the Latin American country, divided in two phases.
After making history in March with seven consecutive sold-out shows at Estadio GNP Seguros, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour will return to the Mexican capital for another series of five concerts on August 26, 27, 29, and 30, and on September 18, for a total of 12. This will make Shakira the first artist to achieve such a number of dates in this major venue (formerly known as Foro Sol).
The singer and songwriter, who has been adding dates to the tour as tickets continue to sell out, will soon surpass the nine shows at Estadio GNP Seguros by Grupo Firme, which so far is the group with the highest number of performances already held there.
Before that, Shakira will perform on August 11 at Estadio Caliente in Tijuana, Baja California; on August 14 at Estadio Héroes de Nacozari in Hermosillo, Sonora; on August 17 at Estadio UACH in Chihuahua; and on August 20 at Estadio Corona in Torreón, Coahuila.
The success of her monumental stadium tour has led the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer to top Billboard Boxscore’s mid-year ranking, grossing $130 million as of June. With the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, Shakira has left an indelible mark on Latin America, bringing together more than one million spectators, according to OCESA.
The Barranquilla-born artist was also named the No. 1 star among Billboard’s Best 50 Female Latin Pop Artists of All Time in March.
