Shakira has lived many lives: Beautiful Liar, She Wolf, famed Oral Fixator, and now, headliner of WorldPride 2025.

The three-time Grammy winner and “Hips Don’t Lie” hitmaker will take to the stage at Nationals Park, Washington DC, for the welcome concert at WorldPride on 31 May next year.

The Colombian superstar will bring her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour to the city as part of its annual Pride celebrations, with 2025 marking 50 years since Washington DC’s first ever Pride event.

In a statement, WorldPride promised that Shakira would not only bring “tracks from her new album” Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran to the performance, but “her legendary catalogue of hits” too.

Muriel Bowser, mayor of DC, said that the city “can’t wait” for the blowout Pride event to arrive.

“There’s a lot to look forward to and lot to be excited about — and a kickoff concert with Shakira is one more fantastic reason to plan your trip to DC for WorldPride,” she said.

“It’s the biggest event of the year and we are thrilled to welcome Colombian pop legend Shakira to DC for a truly momentous evening of love, pride, and community – celebrating the final week of extraordinary celebrations,” added the executive director of Capital Pride Alliance, Ryan Bos.

Capital Pride Alliance is a non-profit organisation which works in Washington DC to support LGBTQ+ people through educational programmes and fundraising.

WorldPride is a series of Pride events hosted by InterPride, which take place in one specific city every year.
