Shakira’s San Antonio Show Ends in Chaos: Fans Fume as Alamodome Concert Abruptly Postponed
What was supposed to be an unforgettable night of music and magic with Shakira in San Antonio turned into confusion and disappointment as thousands of fans were blindsided by a last-minute postponement at the Alamodome.
On Friday night, the Colombian superstar was set to take the stage for her sold-out Shakira concert San Antonio, part of her high-profile Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour. But just minutes before showtime, Alamodome officials shocked the crowd with an announcement: the show was postponed due to “unexpected technical difficulties.”

While many online labeled the Shakira San Antonio concert cancelled, the venue later clarified that the performance was not cancelled but rescheduled for a future date. Still, for the thousands who had lined up under the blazing Texas sun—some waiting over two hours—emotions ran high.
“I flew in from Phoenix just for this,” one fan told reporters outside the gates. “They let us wait, spend money on parking, merch, and food, and then they drop the news like it’s nothing?”
The issue, according to inside sources, stemmed from structural concerns with the stage setup—not with the Alamodome facility itself. The same stage setup had allegedly caused problems at Shakira’s previous stops, with similar cancellations in Boston and D.C. earlier this month.
Photos posted to social media showed swarms of disappointed fans leaving the Alamodome, some crying, others furious. X (formerly Twitter) was quickly flooded with hashtags like #ShakiraSanAntonioCancelled and #ShakiraConcertFail.

Adding fuel to the frustration, Alamodome charged $60 per car for parking. While the venue has promised full refunds and that all tickets will be honored on the new concert date, many fans are demanding more accountability.
In a statement released early Saturday morning, Shakira expressed her sorrow:
“I am devastated and heartbroken. San Antonio, I was so ready to share this night with you. Safety must come first, and I promise we’ll make this up to you.”
This isn’t the first time the singer’s tour has hit logistical snags, but fans in Texas are hoping it will be the last.
The new date for the Shakira concert San Antonio has not yet been announced, but official sources confirm it will be held at the same venue—Alamodome—once staging issues are resolved.
For now, San Antonio fans are left with their outfits, their unused tickets, and a bitter taste of what could have been the summer’s biggest concert event.
