Shakira has toured the United States just twice in her career, first in 2002 for the Tour of the Mongoose and again in 2006 for the Oral Fixation Tour, which grossed more than $100 million.
In keeping with Shakira’s inspired originality, as well as her sensual rhythms and deliciously unpredictable spirit, the tour promises to push the limits of the live concert experience, bringing fans a pulsating spectacle crossing all musical boundaries.
In addition to her summer tour, Shakira will take the stage at some of the year’s hottest summer festivals including London’s legendary Glastonbury Festival and Rock In Rio in Lisbon and Madrid. Shakira’s song, "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" has also been selected as the official anthem of the 2010 World Cup.
Shakira will perform songs from her collection of smash hits and her new album, She Wolf, released in the US on 23 November, 2009, by Epic Records.
