With a stellar rendition of her hits in the historic 2026 FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show, Shakira has been back in this year’s spotlight as one of the world’s biggest music stars. In this instance, Colombian superstar Senna was on the stage with Madonna, BTS, Justin Bieber and Burna Boy, and she clearly reminded the fans of her undeniable status as one of the greatest live artists in the world.
The show generated a new buzz in the Southeast Asian region, especially in Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. While the social media shareables of the halftime show continued to see a surge of traffic, there was one thing which the passionate fans sought clarity about; when will Shakira take her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour to Asia.
Singapore and Manila Tour Rumors
Countries like Singapore and Manila are the top contenders for rumored concert destinations since both destinations have major concert venues. Natural choices when global acts put Asian legs on the tour, their world class tiers, concert promoters and fan communities are all in place.
Over the years, the National Stadium in Singapore has hosted international superstars to perform stadium concerts; meanwhile, the Philippine Arena and SM Mall of Asia Arena has been hosting some of the biggest names in the pop industry for concerts suited to “stadium size”. The locations have garnered attention from Shakira’s fans because of the renewed global popularity of the musician, and they feel these locations would be great additions if they do announce an Asia leg.
Official Tour Schedule
Currently Shakira’s official tour is in North America, Latin America, and Europe only till mid-2026. The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has been bringing sold-out shows to circuses in various countries, and has had invitations to high-profile, global events such as the FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show.
The tour has recently been extended to conclude a multi-night residency in Madrid, Spain, in September/ October, 2026. None of Shakira’s official website or Live Nation Asia Website has confirmed concerts in Singapore, Manila, Bangkok, Jakarta and other Southeast Asian cities as of the writing of this article.
Singapore and Manila Dates Confirmed
Despite many rumours in concert discussion groups or fan communities, there have been no official updates about when the band will visit Southeast Asia.
There have been several unofficial concert posters and ticket notices available online, but none of which have been officially backed by Shakira’s management or authorized promoters. But fans should take these rumors with a grain of salt until the news comes out officially.
Why Fans Believe an Asia Leg Is Still Possible?
While no times have been set, fans are still hopeful for dates, here are a few reasons. After a recent album, record-breaking tour and well received World Cup performance, Shakira has had a resurgence of worldwide popularity. Lovisa songs such as Waka Waka, La La La, Hips Don’t Lie remain popular in Asia and enthral millions of listeners.
Touring also has become a growing market in Southeast Asia. Many foreign acts have been touring to Jakarta, Bangkok, Manila and Singapore in recent years due to overwhelming demand for tickets for their shows. It may also not be out of the question with an Asian extension, if the schedule allows, after the European residency.
Which Venues Could Host Shakira?
Assuming it is an official Southeast Asian leg, there is a huge theory on the most probable venue, with the National Stadium in Singapore being far and away the favorite. The Singapore Indoor Stadium may also be suitable for production requirements.
When it comes to a venue, in the Philippines, the fans hope that it’d be the massive Philippine Arena or the SM Mall of Asia Arena. The two have been the home to internationally acclaimed artists and could easily handle the number of requests anticipated by Shakira for her return to the region.
How to Avoid Fake Ticket Scams?
Vague “rumors” about a big concert always arise and individuals representing fake ticket vendors populate the internet. Fans should ignore any Facebook page, messaging group or online platform that is not the official one that’s not known.
The best thing to do is to wait for the official website of Shakira, “Live Nation Singapore”’s verified social media and the one of “Live Nation Philippines” and the venue’s verified social media platforms to make the announcement. Any ticket sales which do not have official notice and/or an authorized ticketing partner will never be considered to be a Genuine Ticket Sale.

As far as keeping an eye on Shakira’s situation, those interested should check her official accounts, sign up for Live Nation’s e-mail lists and follow official promoters on their notifications. Tour announcements will typically come months prior to the first concert so that fans can make their selections prior to the event.
For now the Filipino and Singapore concerts still have the possibility of happening, but aren’t confirmed. The news of a new wave of rumours is stirring up excitement in the Southeast Asian market, but only time will tell for sure.
