Shakira has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no tour, no festival booking and no one-off show listed for the region. Her current world tour, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, is in its final stretch with a run of concerts in Madrid, and the last date it lists is in Giza, Egypt, on 28 November 2026. None of its dates is in Oceania.
That leaves Australian and New Zealand fans where they have always been. Shakira has sold enormous numbers of records here — Laundry Service was the second best-selling album of 2002 in Australia and went to number one — but none of her world tours documented on Wikipedia has included a concert in either country. Her only documented visit is a short promotional trip to Sydney and Melbourne in April and May 2002.
This page sets out plainly what is and is not known about 2027, what her current tour looks like, and why Australia has been such a gap in a touring career that has taken her to five continents. It will be updated the moment anything official is announced.
There is no official Shakira tour of Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No dates, cities, venues, presales or on-sale times have been published, and no Australian or New Zealand promoter has listed her. No 2027 concert anywhere in the world has been announced either.
Her 2026 calendar is being spent finishing the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which began in Rio de Janeiro on 11 February 2025. In Europe the tour takes the form of a residency in Madrid in September and October 2026, at a temporary venue built in the Villaverde district and called the Estadio Shakira. The Madrid run continues this weekend, from Friday 9 October, and closes with a farewell show, the 'Gran Despedida', on Monday 12 October 2026. After that, Wikipedia lists one more date: the pyramids at Giza, Egypt, on Saturday 28 November 2026.
The tour has been one of the biggest of the decade. According to Wikipedia, by January 2026 it had grossed US$421.6 million from 86 concerts and 3.3 million tickets, setting a Guinness World Record as the highest-grossing Latin tour ever. Its legs covered Latin America, North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa — but not Australia, New Zealand or the rest of Asia-Pacific.
Nothing announced so far points to an Oceania leg. If Shakira does announce concerts in Australia or New Zealand, they will appear on this page with the confirmed cities, venues and sale dates. Until then, any site offering 2027 Australian Shakira seats or a 'presale code' is not official. Sign up below for the alert.
Shakira's Australian story is one of records rather than concerts. She began recording in Colombia at 14, became a star across Latin America with Pies Descalzos (1995) and Dónde Están los Ladrones? (1998), and crossed into English with Laundry Service in 2001. Australia took to that album immediately: Wikipedia records that it debuted at number two on the ARIA albums chart, later spent two weeks at number one, stayed on the chart for 54 weeks and was certified five times platinum for 350,000 units.
It was in that moment that she made her one documented trip to the region. The setlist archive lists four promotional appearances in Australia: the Palladium in Melbourne on Sunday 28 April 2002, an appearance at Westfield Hurstville in Sydney and a slot on the television programme whatUwant on Thursday 2 May, and an appearance on Rove Live in Melbourne on Friday 3 May 2002. The songs performed were 'Whenever, Wherever' and, on one occasion, 'Underneath Your Clothes' — both of which went to number one in Australia.
These were not concerts in the usual sense: one or two songs at a time, for television or for a promotional crowd. They are not counted as headline shows, which is why there is no concert table on this page. They are, however, the only documented times Shakira has performed in Australia, and none of them took place in New Zealand.
The week itself was short and busy. In the space of six days she appeared in Melbourne, flew to Sydney for two appearances on the same Thursday, and returned to Melbourne for Rove Live, the television show hosted by Rove McManus. It was a classic promotional trip of the period, built around television and a single hit, and it coincided with the months when Laundry Service was at its peak in Australia. There is no record of a return visit in the years that followed, during which her Australian chart success continued with 'Hips Don't Lie' in 2006.
Her first global tour, the Tour of the Mongoose, followed from November 2002 to May 2003 with 61 concerts — but it visited only North America, Europe and Latin America. The Oral Fixation Tour of 2006-07, her most extensive tour at the time with 121 shows, went to Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas; its only Asian dates were Dubai and Mumbai in March 2007. Later tours — The Sun Comes Out World Tour, the El Dorado World Tour and the current Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour — also left Oceania out.
The result is a striking imbalance. Laundry Service sold well enough to enter Australia's all-time album chart, and 'Hips Don't Lie' was another Australian number one in 2006. Yet in more than two decades of world touring, the documented record shows no Shakira headline concert in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Auckland.
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll was born on 2 February 1977 in Barranquilla, Colombia. Known as the 'Queen of Latin Music', she is credited with opening the international pop market to Latin artists and with popularising Spanish-language music around the world. She has won four Grammy Awards and fifteen Latin Grammy Awards.
After her Spanish-language breakthrough in the 1990s, Laundry Service (2001) sold more than 13 million copies worldwide and became the best-selling album by a female Latin artist. Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 and Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 followed in 2005, then She Wolf (2009), Sale el Sol (2010), Shakira (2014), El Dorado (2017) and Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (2024). Her Spanish-language albums topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in four different decades, a first for a woman.
Her list of number-one singles is long: 'Whenever, Wherever', 'Underneath Your Clothes', 'La Tortura', 'Hips Don't Lie', 'Beautiful Liar' with Beyoncé, 'She Wolf', 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)', 'Loca', 'Chantaje', 'Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53', 'TQG' and 'Dai Dai' among them. She has been closely associated with the FIFA World Cup since 2006 and has been described as the tournament's artistic and publicity icon.
Beyond music she was a coach on two seasons of The Voice (2013-2014), voiced Gazelle in Zootopia (2016) and Zootopia 2 (2025), and executive produced and judged Dancing with Myself (2022). Billboard named her Top Female Latin Artist of the Decade for both the 2000s and the 2010s, and she was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2026.

For many Australians, Shakira means 2002. Laundry Service was the second best-selling album of that year in Australia, behind only Eminem's The Eminem Show, and Wikipedia describes it as her most successful album in the country and one of the best-selling albums of all time there, entering the all-time chart at number 29.
Its singles did the same on the ARIA singles chart: 'Whenever, Wherever' and 'Underneath Your Clothes' both reached number one. Those two songs were exactly the ones she performed on her promotional visit to Sydney and Melbourne in April and May 2002.
No tour followed. The Tour of the Mongoose, which began in November 2002, was booked for North America, Europe and Latin America only. Twenty-four years later, that gap has never been closed.
New Zealand followed Australia's lead in 2002. Laundry Service peaked at number four on the New Zealand albums chart, spent 47 weeks on it and was certified triple platinum for 45,000 units by 2003, according to Wikipedia.
Even so, there is no documented Shakira performance of any kind in New Zealand: not a concert, not a festival set, not a promotional appearance in the setlist archive. Auckland's large venues, Spark Arena and the stadiums, have hosted many international pop tours, but not hers.
Any announcement of New Zealand dates would therefore be a first. As of 9 October 2026 there is none.
Shakira's touring record is long. The Tour of the Mongoose (November 2002 to May 2003) was her first global tour, with 61 concerts across North America, Europe and Latin America. The Oral Fixation Tour, from 14 June 2006 to 23 December 2007, was bigger again: 121 shows on five continents, and according to Wikipedia it made her the first female artist of her generation to have a tour gross more than US$100 million overall. In 2006 alone it was the 15th highest-grossing tour of the year.
The Sun Comes Out World Tour followed for She Wolf and Sale el Sol, then the El Dorado World Tour for El Dorado, and finally the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which started in Rio de Janeiro in February 2025 and has played 127 listed shows. Each of these tours is documented on Wikipedia with full date lists, and none of those lists includes a city in Australia or New Zealand.
The closest the Oral Fixation Tour came to the region was Asia: Dubai on 23 March 2007 and Mumbai on 25 March 2007. The current tour added Middle Eastern and Central Asian stops such as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Kyrgyzstan, plus Egypt, but again stopped short of the Asia-Pacific.
For an artist who has spent more than twenty years on the road, that makes Australia and New Zealand one of the very few major pop markets she has never toured. It is a fact worth knowing when reading rumours: nothing in her past touring makes an Oceania leg automatic, and nothing announced as of 9 October 2026 suggests one.
Shakira's tours are large productions built around long runs in the Americas and Europe, where her audience is concentrated and where her Spanish-language catalogue is strongest. The current tour shows the pattern: dozens of stadium dates across Latin America and North America, a residency in Madrid and special shows in the Middle East and Egypt.
The distances involved in adding Australia and New Zealand to a tour of that scale are considerable, and no Shakira tour has made that trip. Whether a future tour will is not known; nothing announced so far suggests it, and it would be speculation to say otherwise.
What can be said is that the demand evidence is old but real: chart-topping albums and singles in the 2000s, and a 2002 promotional visit to Sydney and Melbourne.
The final European chapter of the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour is a residency in Madrid in September and October 2026, at a purpose-built temporary venue in Villaverde called the Estadio Shakira. Wikipedia describes it as a European residency of eleven concerts; a farewell night, the 'Gran Despedida', has been set for Monday 12 October 2026.
After Madrid, the tour's last listed concert is at the Giza pyramid complex in Egypt on Saturday 28 November 2026. No date in 2027 has been published, in any country.
For fans in Australia and New Zealand, that means the tour now ending will not come here. Any Oceania visit would belong to a new chapter that has not been announced.
A Shakira concert on her recent tours is a stadium-scale show that mixes her Spanish-language catalogue with the English hits. Her last tour took its name and much of its set from Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (2024), alongside songs that have been number ones around the world for two decades.
In Australia, the documented performances are much smaller. The setlist archive shows single performances of 'Whenever, Wherever' at the Palladium in Melbourne, Westfield Hurstville and on Rove Live in 2002, and 'Whenever, Wherever' plus 'Underneath Your Clothes' on whatUwant in Sydney. There is no full Australian or New Zealand set list to report.
No set list, staging or production details for any 2027 show in the region have been published.
There are no Shakira tickets for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. No presale, general on-sale or fan registration has been published for the region, and any listing that claims otherwise is not official.
If concerts are announced, buy only from the official ticket outlets named in the announcement, from the venue box office or through the artist's own fan registration. Large stadium and arena tours in Australia now commonly use name-locked mobile tickets, so buy through the official outlet or its official resale service to make sure the ticket is in your name; be wary of anyone selling 'presale codes'.
