'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran': Shakira announces world tour
Shakira has announced an upcoming world tour during a surprise performance at Coachella 2024.
The Colombian singer shocked the crowd as she rose from a platform during the set of Argentinian DJ Bizarrap to perform their new track, La Fuerte.
During the performance, the extravagant backdrop on the Sahara stage switched to say "Shakira, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour".
The Hips Don't Lie star said: "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, released last month, is the 12th studio album from the singer and first in seven years.
It tracks the singer's transition from heartbreak to resurgence, and was inspired in part by her break-up with former Barcelona footballer Gerard Pique.
The 47-year-old had teased the announcement in an Instagram post a day before her appearance. Translated from Spanish it said: "The wolf is coming."
In a later post, she confirmed the world tour and was "stoked" to be "celebrating with my wolfpack".
Shakira's last tour was in 2018 following the release of her album El Dorado.
Coachella is taking place over two weekends from 12-14 April and 19-21 April and features headline performances from Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat, Tyler, the Creator and a No Doubt reunion with Gwen Stefani.
