The world tour of Shakira, Las mujeres ya no lloran World Tour, continues to be a whirlwind of emotions, but not for the reasons her fans expect. After postponing her show in Lima due to health issues, now her concert in Medellín, scheduled for June 24, has been delayed. The organizing company, Páramo Presenta, confirmed the news in a statement, explaining that a structural problem with the stage necessitated the decision.
It seems that during the setup at the Atanasio Girardot Stadium, the stage roof sustained damage that put the safety of the artist, her team, and the audience at risk. Although rumors suggest that the new date could be in September and even the possibility of an additional concert in the city, the production company has not yet confirmed it.
The postponement came as a cold shower to fans, especially those who had already traveled from other cities and countries. To soften the blow, Avianca announced that it will allow flight changes without penalty for those who present their ticket to the event. Passengers will have 90 days to reschedule their trip within the validity of their ticket. Additionally, Páramo reported that it will soon publish details about the refund process and rescheduled dates on its website.
But the cancellation not only shook the star's fans, but it also sparked a political controversy in Medellín. Former mayor Daniel Quintero suggested that the issue was caused by bureaucratic obstacles and a scheduling conflict with a football match, while the current mayor, Federico Gutiérrez, denied those claims and stated that all permits were in order. He also urged the organizers to clarify what really happened with the event setup.
Despite the setbacks, Shakira's tour remains a global phenomenon. Since its announcement at Coachella, tickets have sold out in record time, forcing the artist to adjust her schedule to include larger venues.
With this postponement, there are now two dates affected in her tour. However, Shakira remains determined to make this tour the most significant of her career, thrilling the audience at every event.
