Fans were left confused after being denied entry to the venue just before the event was scheduled to start. The event promoter, Live Nation, confirmed that ticket holders will be accommodated for a future date, which is yet to be announced.

San Antonio – The Shakira concert scheduled for Friday night at the Alamodome has been postponed due to structural issues with the stage. The announcement was made by Alamodome spokesperson Richard Oliver approximately 40 minutes before the concert was due to start. Initially, concertgoers were denied entry to the venue due to unspecified “ongoing issues,” leaving many fans confused and frustrated.
Live Nation Entertainment, the event’s promoter, indicated that the postponement was specifically linked to “structural issues” affecting the stage setup. Following the announcement, ticketholders were assured that all previously purchased tickets would still be honored for a rescheduled date, which has yet to be announced. Live Nation also informed fans that further details would be emailed directly to them in due course.
In a statement posted on her Facebook page, Shakira expressed her own disappointment over the situation, mentioning that the structural damage was related to her stage setup. Fans had high hopes for the concert, especially since it was originally relocated to the Alamodome from the Frost Bank Center due to increased ticket demand. Approximately 47,000 fans had purchased tickets for the event.
This postponement adds to a troubling trend on Shakira’s current tour, as concerts in both Washington, D.C. and Boston earlier in 2025 were similarly canceled due to reported technical or structural problems. Fans waiting outside the Alamodome faced long lines and unsafe conditions, exacerbated by high temperatures. The Alamodome’s premium parking was also a point of contention, as it cost $60, leaving some concertgoers upset over the last-minute cancellations and associated fees.
Richard Oliver stated that fans who had paid for parking through ParkHub would be automatically reimbursed. If refunds are not received by the coming Monday, attendees are encouraged to reach out to the Alamodome for assistance. The inconveniences faced at the venue have led to outrage on social media, where many expressed their dissatisfaction with the late notice and the associated costs of attending the concert.
Shakira’s team clarified that they rely on a third-party company for stage infrastructure and that the issues arose from this aspect of the production, raising safety concerns among fans. A photo released by the team showed a broken metal support beam, further highlighting the seriousness of the situation. Despite the setback in San Antonio, Shakira conveyed hopes for her future performances, including a rescheduled concert in Houston.
This incident marks the third last-minute postponement on Shakira’s current tour, which has seen significant challenges related to logistics and infrastructure. As the concert scenario continues to develop, fans are urged to stay updated for information regarding the rescheduling and any potential further impacts on the tour.
