San Antonio – Shakira’s concert at the Alamodome, originally set for Friday, June 13, was unexpectedly postponed due to last-minute structural issues affecting the stage. The announcement was made shortly before the performance was due to start, with officials revealing the news via a post on social media at approximately 6:54 PM, just 40 minutes before the 7:30 PM showtime.
Concertgoers were informed that tickets for the rescheduled performance will remain valid, although a new date has yet to be announced. Ticket holders can expect to receive an email with further information on the postponement. Currently, those who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster are being notified that while refunds are not immediately available, they will be offered in the future. A 30-day refund window will open if a new date is not established within 60 days.
In a statement regarding the situation, Shakira expressed her sadness about the postponement, mentioning the truss supplied by a third-party company, which supports the stage, as the cause of the structural issues. She expressed being devastated and heartbroken about not being able to perform in front of her fans in San Antonio.
Additionally, Shakira’s concert scheduled for Sunday, June 15, at the Toyota Center in Houston has also been postponed to Tuesday, June 17, although no specific reasons have been disclosed for this change. Interestingly, a Monday show at the Toyota Center remained unaffected and is still scheduled to proceed as planned.
Reports from fans indicate that many arrived at the Alamodome well ahead of the announcement, only to find themselves kept outside. Unspecified ongoing issues were present before the officials communicated the postponement, causing evident frustration among concertgoers. Numerous attendees expressed their dissatisfaction online, citing long wait times and challenging conditions, particularly under the hot weather. Some fans learned of the postponement while en route to the arena, as it was displayed on the Alamodome’s electronic sign.
This postponement is not an isolated incident for Shakira during her current tour; previous concerts scheduled in Boston were also delayed for similar logistical reasons. Concert operator Live Nation has confirmed that previously purchased tickets will be honored once the new date is set. Moreover, Alamodome officials have indicated that anyone who paid for parking via credit card will be reimbursed.
The announcement of Shakira’s postponed concert marks the third significant event cancellation in San Antonio in recent weeks, following other artists’ performances that faced similar disruptions. Fans looking forward to the concert are now left awaiting further details on a rescheduled date while grappling with the disappointment of missing out on the live show they had anticipated.
