Shakira was scheduled to take the stage at Boston‘s Fenway Park on Thursday, May 29, as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour. Leading up to the show, she shared Instagram Story posts expressing her excitement and teasing appearances from Will.i.am and Wyclef Jean. But hours before doors opened for the show, Live Nation announced that the event had been cancelled. The Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn concert scheduled at the same venue on May 30 has also been cancelled
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Shakira and Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn performances originally scheduled for May 29th and May 30th respectively at Fenway Park have been canceled,” the Live Nation statement read. “Refunds will be available at your point of purchase. We apologize for the inconvenience.” Fenway Concerts posted the same statement on social media.
A source close to the situation tells Rolling Stone that structural elements were identified as not being up to standard during a routine pre-show check, and the shows were canceled as a result. According to Boston’s 7News, the inspectional services department reportedly spotted a safety concern when preparing to sign off on the stage structure.
Representatives for Shakira, Aldean, and Brooks & Dunn did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.
Shakira’s tour stop was meant to be the first appearance of the 2025 Fenway Concert Series, which runs through September. “Boston, I’m coming,” the singer wrote on Instagram on the eve of the show. “I can’t ask for more! And can’t wait to be on stage with all of you.” The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour will now resume on Saturday, May 31 in Washington D.C.
