Shakira Announces Return to Great Pyramids of Giza for November Concert

Colombian pop icon Shakira has confirmed a return to the Great Pyramids of Giza, marking her first performance in Egypt in almost 20 years. The concert, presented by Venture Lifestyle, is scheduled for November 28 and will take place against the backdrop of the ancient monument, a site where the singer previously performed during her 2007 Oral Fixation tour.

Event Details and Historical Context

The upcoming show at the Giza Plateau serves as a significant stop for the artist, who has maintained a long-standing connection to the historic location. The Great Pyramids of Giza, the only surviving wonder of the ancient world, have increasingly hosted large-scale international music events in recent years. In anticipation of the event, Shakira stated, “I’m very happy to be performing in Egypt, at the Pyramids of Giza. I love you all.” Tickets and logistics for the performance are currently being managed through the event organizers, Venture Lifestyle.

Shakira’s Recent Touring and Musical Milestones

The Egypt performance follows the momentum of Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran era, which saw the singer return to the road for her first tour since 2018. Her 2024 studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, earned critical acclaim and secured the Best Latin Pop Album award at the 2025 Grammys. NME noted in a four-star review that the record successfully transformed the singer’s personal experiences into global pop success.

Global Engagement and Philanthropic Initiatives

Shakira’s recent schedule has been heavily focused on global initiatives and high-profile performances. Earlier this year, she participated in the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium. During that event, she performed “Dai Dai,” the official anthem for the tournament. The artist has committed 100 percent of the profits from the track to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. According to the singer, $500,000 from the fund has been allocated to support educational interventions for children impacted by recent earthquakes in Venezuela.
