Shakira’s San Antonio concert postponed, fans express outrage on social media

Colombian singer and songwriter Shakira's concert scheduled for Friday night (June 13) at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas has been postponed, not cancelled, according to a venue spokesperson. Speaking on the postponement, spokesperson Richard Oliver told KSAT that Alamodome officials were initially not letting people inside due to unspecified “ongoing issues.”

Later, Oliver confirmed that the concert was postponed. It is, however, unclear when the concert will be rescheduled. Live Nation Entertainment said in a statement that the concert was postponed because of “structural issues.”

“Unfortunately, Shakira’s performance tonight has been postponed due to structural issues. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date once announced. More information will be emailed to ticketholders directly when available. “We apologize for the inconvenience,” the statement read.


Shakira’s concert was originally scheduled for the Frost Bank Center on Nov. 16, 2024. However, the Colombian singer-songwriter announced a venue change to stadiums “due to unprecedented fan demand.” Shakira’s concerts, previously scheduled for Washington, D.C., and Boston earlier in 2025, were also canceled due to technical issues.

Oliver told KSAT that anyone who paid $60 for parking through ParkHub will be reimbursed with the credit card they used. If they don’t get refunded automatically, people should contact the Alamodome, Oliver said.

Shakira’s fans express outrage

The fans of the singer and concert-goers expressed outrage on social media. They slammed not only the postponement of the show but were also fuming because of the price to park at the Alamodome. The Alamodome had previously stated that it would charge $60 for parking. It is the standard price for “premium” parking during events there.

“WTH it needed to be announced before people spent money at restaurants and for parking,” one Instagram user wrote on KSAT’s page. "@shakira - you did San Antonio wrong. Canceling at the very last minute is just plain wrong," another user commented.
