San Antonio – The much-anticipated concert by international superstar Shakira, scheduled for Friday, June 13, 2025, at the Alamodome, has been postponed due to urgent structural concerns with the stage setup. The decision to delay the show was communicated to fans a little less than an hour before the expected start time of 7:30 PM, with the venue announcing the postponement on its official Facebook page at 6:54 PM.
Initially, Alamodome officials did not allow concert-goers to enter the venue, citing unspecified “ongoing issues.” This interruption led to immediate speculation among fans, with many expressing their confusion and disappointment regarding the unfolding situation. The Alamodome has since apologized for the inconvenience caused to attendees, reassuring them that all previously purchased tickets will be honored for a rescheduled date, which has yet to be announced.
Shakira, through her own Facebook statement, expressed her deep sadness and disappointment over the postponement. She attributed the delay to structural issues with a third-party truss supporting her stage design. Understanding the high expectations and excitement of her fans, she emphasized that the decision was not made lightly and that it significantly impacts both her and her supporters in San Antonio.
The postponement comes on the heels of a similar challenge faced during a previous concert in Boston, prompting the addition of a new group of engineers tasked with re-evaluating the stage’s structural integrity. This proactive measure reflects a commitment to ensuring safety and quality in Shakira’s performances, highlighting the importance of maintaining high standards within the live entertainment industry.
Looking ahead, while the San Antonio concert’s new date remains uncertain, concerts in Houston are still on schedule to proceed starting Monday, June 16. This continuation of performances signals a sense of normalcy and confidence as the team works diligently to address the structural concerns encountered in San Antonio.
Fans eager to see Shakira perform will need to stay updated for announcements regarding the rescheduling of the San Antonio concert while remaining hopeful for the upcoming Houston events. The focus now transitions to the safety and wellbeing of all involved, reinforcing the importance of structural integrity in large-scale performances.
The Alamodome, a well-known venue for major events, has faced significant challenges in previous instances, making this recent development a crucial point of concern for both venue officials and artists alike. The ongoing commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for fans remains a top priority, as the ramifications of such incidents can resonate throughout the entertainment industry.
In summary, while Shakira’s San Antonio concert has been postponed due to necessary safety precautions, both the artist and venue are determined to ensure a memorable experience for the audience once a new date is finalized. Fans are encouraged to retain their tickets and await further announcements regarding rescheduling.
