Shakira Returns to Costa Rica in 2027 After More Than 15 Years

Shakira’s world tour has added Costa Rica to its 2027 Latin American leg. It’s the strongest sign yet that the Colombian superstar will perform at the National Stadium in La Sabana on Sunday, January 31. It would be her first concert in the country since April 2011. The tour’s official accounts posted a graphic this week listing six countries for the new leg: Brazil, Venezuela, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico and Panama. The post gave no dates or venues for any of the stops. The January 31 date comes from the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Commerce (MEIC). In October it authorized a presale plan for the show. The authorization lists an 8 p.m. start at the National Stadium and lets the production company, Two Shows Ltda., sell 53,114 tickets through eticket.cr. Ticket prices and the on-sale date have not been announced. The ministry requires a presale authorization before any large event goes on sale, to protect buyers, but it doesn’t mean tickets are available. Wait for an official announcement and buy only through the authorized seller. There is a reason for caution. In September 2024, the ministry approved a presale of 51,446 tickets for a Shakira concert at the same stadium on March 27, 2025. That show never happened bug the difference this time is that the tour itself has named Costa Rica as a stop. The show is part of the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, named after her 2024 album, her first studio record in seven years. The tour opened in Rio de Janeiro in February 2025. Her production team says the tour has grossed more than $534 million and sold over four million tickets worldwide. Shakira recently closed a 13-show residency in Madrid that drew more than 700,000 people. She has played Costa Rica twice before. She brought her Pies Descalzos tour to the Palacio de los Deportes in Heredia in 1995. She then performed at the National Stadium on April 3, 2011, shortly after the stadium opened. A full stadium on the last Sunday of January would also land in the middle of high season, when flights and hotels around San José are already busy. Prices, seating sections and the sale date are expected once the producers make a formal announcement.
