In a thrilling turn of events at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, global superstar Shakira made a surprise appearance during Argentinian DJ Bizarrap’s electrifying set on Friday night.
The Colombian singer not only delivered a show-stopping performance but also unveiled her highly anticipated world tour, set to launch later this year.
Unexpected Delight for Festival-Goers
Bizarrap’s Friday night performance was already in full swing when Shakira emerged on an elevated platform behind him, catching the audience off guard. Dressed in a vibrant red-orange gown and oversized aviator sunglasses, the “Hips Don’t Lie” hitmaker descended towards the stage as she began singing their Latin Grammy-winning collaboration, “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53”.
The crowd erupted in cheers as Shakira moved to the front of the stage, radiating joy and even venturing down to the edge to wave to fans. “Buenas noches, Coachella! Esto es increíble,” she exclaimed in Spanish, expressing her delight at the scene before her.

In a moment that sent shockwaves through the festival grounds, Shakira addressed the audience in both Spanish and English, revealing her upcoming world tour. “Voy de gira,” she declared, eliciting thunderous applause from the capacity crowd. “Aquí, este noviembre, en esta ciudad.”
The tour, named “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” after her new album, is set to include arena and stadium shows across Latin America, North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East.
This marks Shakira’s first world tour since her successful “El Dorado World Tour” in 2018.

The 47-year-old singer also acknowledged her artistic growth over the years, stating, “I feel that my voice keeps changing over the years… I like myself much better now as an artist.”
