Shakira is bringing her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour to the United States this summer, and she’s giving Southern California a major role in the run. According to Pitchfork, the trek will launch June 13 in Inglewood at the Intuit Dome, marking one of the earliest high-profile music bookings for the new arena. The tour celebrates the global pop superstar’s 2024 album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, her first full-length release in seven years.
For SoCal fans, the announcement signals a significant return to large-scale live shows for Shakira, who has kept much of her recent touring focused overseas. The Intuit Dome launch date suggests she will play at least two nights in the Los Angeles area before heading across the country. The timing also lines up with a surge of new Latin and pop crossover shows in the region, reinforcing the city’s status as a key hub for global pop tours.
Tour Launch and New Music Momentum
The Pitchfork report notes that the U.S. arena tour will kick off June 13 in Inglewood and continue through the fall, though a full routing has not yet been published. The announcement comes as Shakira remains highly visible on both the charts and social media, keeping her name in heavy rotation beyond the album cycle itself.
Adding to the momentum, Billboard confirmed that Shakira has teamed up with Brazilian pop force Anitta on the new single “Choka Choka.” The two stars announced the collaboration on Instagram, with Shakira writing in Portuguese that fans are going to love the track and that they “don’t know the music we have together.” As Billboard first reported, the song will arrive as the second single from Anitta’s upcoming album EQUILIBRIVM, due April 16.
Editorial observations: While Shakira’s 2023 Coachella guest appearance and recent one-off shows gave fans glimpses of her live energy, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour is the first full U.S. run built around the new material. The timing pairs with a broader wave of Latin pop and global fusions headlining U.S. arenas this year, suggesting promoters are banking on strong demand from multilingual audiences.
The SoCal Connection
Southern California gets a special spotlight in this rollout. The Intuit Dome launch positions the Inglewood venue as a flagship stop for the tour, and the calendar shows a second Inglewood date on June 14 as well as a June 17 show at Acrisure Arena at Greater Palm Springs in Palm Desert. While exact venues and dates have not been formally confirmed by the tour or local arenas, the alignment with industry sources and the calendar listings points to a robust multi-night SoCal presence.
For local fans, the run offers a rare chance to hear new songs like “Puntería” and “TQG” alongside classics in a purpose-built arena setting. The Intuit Dome shows will also test how newer venues handle the complex production and high-volume demand that come with a global pop tour, particularly one with elaborate choreography and live band arrangements.
What Happens Next
With the tour announcement public and new music on the way, attention now shifts to ticketing details and full routing. Fans can expect an on-sale announcement in the coming weeks, with presale options likely tied to album purchases or fan club registrations. The run of June dates suggests that Shakira will use the SoCal shows as a kind of live rehearsal ground for the rest of the U.S. tour.
In the meantime, “Choka Choka” gives Shakira another platform moment ahead of the tour launch, potentially adding another sing-along moment to the setlist if she chooses to incorporate the collaboration. Whether or not that track makes the final cut, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour is shaping up to be one of the summer’s most anticipated arena runs, with Southern California at the center of the action.
