SHAKIRA DRAWS MORE THAN 2 MILLION FANS TO COPACABANA FOR HISTORIC TODO MUNDO NO RIO PERFORMANCE
On Saturday, GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Shakira performed to a crowd of more than 2 million fans at Rio de Janeiro’s 2026 Todo Mundo No Rio concert sponsored by Corona, further cementing her status as a global icon and legendary performer. The concert, which took place on Copacabana Beach, was free for all attendees and brought fans from all over to witness this historic performance.
Shakira, in a triumphant return to Brazil, where she first began her international touring career, addressed the crowd in Portuguese throughout the concert and played an electrifying set filled with her greatest hits spanning her entire career including “Hips Don’t Lie,” “La Tortura” and “La Bicicleta.” Shakira’s historic show paid homage to Brazil as she brought out special guests, including Anitta, for the debut performance of their new single “Choka Choka,” “O Leãozinho” with Caetano Veloso, “O Que É, O Que É” with Maria Bethânia Veloso and Unidos da Tijuca, “Waka Waka” with dance group Mare Dance, “Objection” with Unidos da Tijuca and “País Tropical” with Ivete Sangalo.
Todo Mundo No Rio, known as being “the largest concert in the world” is a landmark event for Rio de Janeiro, celebrating music, culture, and community, for a completely free price tag. This dazzling spectacle shattered records, becoming one of the highest attended concerts of all time with 2 million plus people there to witness this historic moment. Shakira’s performance also broke the record, generating a large financial impact for the local economy, with a projected 800 million in economic benefits, including a 123% increase in travel bookings
The show opened with a drone act by Studio Drift, featuring 1,500 drones, the largest drone show ever created for the biggest audience in concert history. Shakira wore four Etro looks, opening the show in a silk fly suit featuring a tropical paisley print, intricately embellished with Swarovski crystals in the colors of the Brazilian flag. She also donned an outfit embellished with over 150,000 Swarovski crystals in shades of sapphire, indigo, and majestic blue, plus looks designed by local Brazilian designers including, Victor Hugo Mattos, HISHA, Dario Mittman.
Last month Shakira announced a special limited run of U.S. dates on her record-breaking Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, giving fans a rare chance to see her electrifying production up close in more intimate arena settings this summer. TIckets are available at at shakira.com. Prior to this she announced an 11 night stadium European residency based in Madrid, with a stadium named ‘Shakira Stadium’ being built especially for her, and has already sold more than half a million tickets.
The announcements follow Shakira’s historic close to the Mexico leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, where she drew 400,000 fans to a free concert at Mexico City’s Zócalo on March 1 — the largest crowd ever recorded in the city’s main public square, according to officials. The milestone performance came just days after she completed a record-setting 13-show run at Estadio GNP Seguros, becoming the artist with the most performances at the venue on a single tour and selling more than 800,000 tickets across those dates.
