My dear fans,

Your incredible support since announcing my tour has been truly extraordinary and makes this already the biggest tour of my career.

As Live Nation has previously shared, demand for tickets and more shows is so high that our tour is now requiring stadiums across the US and more dates so I can see as many of you as possible.

The production of my show is now much larger and different than anything I have done before. Because of this, we are expanding my North American run from arenas to stadiums and the dates are moving to May 2025, right after my Latin America tour. Get ready – cities and states will be announced on Monday!

I know many of you have made great efforts to attend these shows. Thank you for supporting me in this. Your understanding and love mean a lot to me and help me continue to overcome barriers.

I will wait for you with great anticipation. I promise it'll be worth the wait and I'll put on the best show of my life!

With all my love and gratitude,

Shakira
