Colombian superstar Shakira thrilled fans at Coachella 2024 with a surprise announcement of her upcoming world tour. The revelation came during a special performance with Argentinian DJ Bizarrap, where they showcased their new track, "La Fuerte."

Rising from a platform on stage, Shakira stunned the crowd as the backdrop on the Sahara stage transformed to display the words, "Shakira, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour." Addressing the audience, the "Hips Don't Lie" singer expressed her excitement, stating, "Finally, we are going on tour. Starting here, this November in this city, can't wait. Couldn't ask for more."

"Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," Shakira's 12th studio album and her first in seven years, serves as the inspiration for the tour. The album, released last month, narrates the singer's journey from heartbreak to resurgence, with some tracks drawing from her personal experiences, including her breakup with former Barcelona footballer Gerard Pique.

The 47-year-old artist had hinted at the announcement in an Instagram post the day before her Coachella appearance, where she cryptically wrote, "The wolf is coming." Confirming the tour in a subsequent post, Shakira expressed her enthusiasm, stating she was "stoked" to be "celebrating with my wolfpack."

This tour marks Shakira's return to the stage following her 2018 tour for the album "El Dorado."
