Read our privacy policy Shakira’s concert in Medellín has been postponed due to safety concerns. The show, which was scheduled for 24 February at the Estadio Atanasio Girardot stadium, was postponed after organisers said there were safety concerns following damage to the stage roof. “Together with Shakira’s team, we are working on new concerts for Colombia in the second half of this year, news that will be celebrated by more than one city in the country,” it said on X. We understand that this decision may be annoying for the public who were anxiously awaiting the show, but the most important thing is everyone’s safety.” The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer kicked off her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour in Rio de Janeiro on 11 February.
