The Colombian superstar will take to the Main Stage at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on Sunday, 19 April 2026, joining Kygo on the entertainment lineup.
Saudi Arabia, start your engines: the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2026 is roaring back into town, with Shakira confirmed for a post-race concert in Jeddah. The multi-GRAMMY award-winning artist will perform on the Main Stage at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on Sunday, 19 April 2026.
Set along the Red Sea coastline, the Jeddah Corniche Circuit has become one of the region’s most high-energy stops on the F1 calendar, pairing night-race spectacle with stadium-scale live shows.
Shakira’s rise has been defined by reinvention. First celebrated across Latin America for her distinctive voice and songwriting, she made the leap to global pop icon status with crossover hits that fused rock, pop, and Latin rhythms into something instantly hers. The result is a catalogue built for arenas and festivals: expect sing-alongs to “Hips Don’t Lie”, “Whenever, Wherever”, “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”, “She Wolf”, and fan favourites like “La Tortura” and “Chantaje”, alongside more recent era-defining moments.
In the streaming age, she has remained a headline force. Her latest album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran”, received major acclaim and fresh awards attention, while the “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” stadium world tour has been drawing huge crowds.
Shakira’s announcement also expands the 2026 post-race concert programme, with Kygo already announced as part of the entertainment lineup. Organisers have confirmed that more names will be added to the concert lineup in the run-up to race weekend.
And Jeddah will not be her only date in the Middle East this year. Shakira is also set to perform at the OFFLIMITS Festival in Abu Dhabi, taking place at Etihad Park on Yas Island on Saturday, 4 April 2026.
