Shakira Returns to the Great Pyramids of Giza for Historic Concert

Nearly two decades after she first performed in one of the most unique concert settings on the planet, Shakira is returning to the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. The “Dai Dai” singer will set up shop in the shadow of the archaeological treasure on Nov. 28 in a show presented by Venture Lifestyle, which has staged similar events there with artists like JLo, John Legend, and Katy Perry.

The upcoming gig marks a return of sorts for the global superstar, who previously performed in front of the Pyramids—the only surviving structure from the original seven wonders of the ancient world—in 2007 during her Oral Fixation tour. “I’m very happy to be performing in Egypt, at the Pyramids of Giza. I love you all,” Shakira said in a statement regarding her return to the iconic site.

This performance is part of the singer’s highly anticipated Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour. While the show was originally scheduled for April 7, it was moved to November due to regional instability. Beyond this historic stop, Shakira continues to dominate the global stage; she is slated to headline the first-ever FIFA World Cup final halftime show on July 19 at MetLife Stadium, featuring a star-studded lineup including Chris Martin, Madonna, Justin Bieber, BTS, Burna Boy, and Gustavo Dudamel.

Reflecting on her busy schedule, the singer recently noted, “It’s going to be a shared halftime show… it’s going to be pretty historic, five amazing artists, well four amazing artists plus me.” Her commitment to global causes remains equally strong, with proceeds from her 2026 World Cup anthem, “Dai Dai,” supporting the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund to aid children affected by recent natural disasters in Venezuela.
