These events have led to airspace closures and increased travel risks across the Gulf, which directly impact the tour’s transit routes.
In a statement released on Tuesday, tour promoters cited the safety of the artist, crew, and fans as the primary reason for the delay. While the singer expressed her deep regret, the "current global climate" made it impossible to proceed with the planned dates safely.
Ticket and Rescheduling Information
Ticketing platform District by Zomato has assured fans that all purchased tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates. The new dates will be announced soon. For those unable to attend the new dates will be provided with full refunds.
Before the postponement, the tour had seen "unprecedented demand," with tickets for the premium lounge sections reportedly reaching INR 32,000. There were rumours of a potential guest appearance by Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh in one of Mumbai's concerts. The news had further fuelled the excitement of fans.
Middle East conflicts lead to the postponement of concerts
Shakira is not the only artist affected by the current political landscape. Several international events across the Middle East and South Asia have faced similar challenges as organisers have postponed or cancelled shows owing to security concerns. Earlier, Kanye West and Flipperachi concerts also got postponed due to the same reason.
