Shakira Returns To India After Nearly 20 Years, Adds Second Mumbai Concert After Massive Ticket Demand

International pop superstar Shakira is set to return to India this April for a series of live concerts, marking her first performance in the country in almost two decades.

The Grammy-winning singer will perform two shows in Mumbai and one in Delhi, creating huge excitement among Indian fans who have been waiting years to see her perform live again.

Known worldwide for chart-topping hits like "Hips Don't Lie" and "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", the global icon is expected to draw massive crowds during her upcoming concerts.

Concert Dates and Venues Announced

According to organisers, the singer will perform at three major concerts across two cities.

• April 10 - Mumbai at Mahalaxmi Racecourse
• April 11 - Mumbai at Mahalaxmi Racecourse
• April 15 - Delhi at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium

Initially, only one concert was planned in Mumbai. However, organisers added a second show after ticket demand surged soon after the announcement.

Second Mumbai Show Added Due To Huge Demand

The additional Mumbai concert was announced after organisers saw what they described as "unprecedented demand" for tickets.

Fans first noticed the new concert date listed on the District app. While tickets for the first shows went on sale earlier, bookings for the newly added Mumbai concert are expected to open soon.

The response from fans has been overwhelming, with many sharing their excitement across social media platforms.

Ticket Prices and Booking Details

Ticket sales for the concerts opened on March 1, and the prices vary depending on the seating category.

• General admission: Around ₹6,000
• Premium tickets: Up to ₹32,000

Organisers expect the shows to sell out quickly, given the singer's global popularity and her long absence from the Indian stage.

Concerts Linked To Child Nutrition Campaign

The concerts are not only about music and entertainment. The event is also connected to a social initiative.

Shakira's visit is part of the Feeding India initiative, organised in collaboration with Zomato's District platform.

This will be the first time the Feeding India Concert series is being held across multiple Indian cities. The initiative aims to raise awareness about child hunger and nutrition in the country.

Shakira Shares Her Excitement

Speaking about her upcoming performances, Shakira expressed happiness about returning to India after so many years.

She said performing in India has always been special and that she is excited to reconnect with fans in both Mumbai and Delhi. She also highlighted that the concerts are meant to bring people together to support the cause of ensuring every child receives proper nutrition.

Return After Her 2007 India Tour

Shakira last performed in India during her 2007 Oral Fixation Tour, when she held a concert in Mumbai. Her return after nearly two decades has created huge anticipation among music lovers.

Fans across social media have been celebrating the announcement, with many calling it one of the biggest international music events in India this year.

With multiple concerts planned and strong demand for tickets, Shakira's April tour is expected to be a memorable moment for Indian fans and a major highlight in the country's live music scene.
