Shakira's fans are eagerly awaiting tonight's concert at Estadio BBVA, marking the start of her highly anticipated "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour". The Colombian superstar is set to perform for thousands of enthusiastic fans who have traveled from various parts of the country and abroad. With the concert taking place on March 12, 2025, attendees are considering their travel options from the nearby Monterrey International Airport.
The distance from the airport to Estadio BBVA is approximately 25 kilometers, and depending on traffic, the travel time is estimated to be between 30 and 40 minutes. For those opting for taxis, the fares can vary: official airport taxis charge between 350 and 500 Mexican pesos, whereas taxis hailed outside the airport range from 200 to 270 pesos. Rideshare services tend to be more economical but fluctuate based on demand, traffic, and weather conditions.
Shakira, who arrived early this morning with her children Milan and Sasha, has kept her interactions with fans minimal prior to the big event. This concert is expected to be packed with energy, and the setlist remains largely under wraps, with rumors hinting at possible appearances of popular hits like "La Fuerte," "Girl Like Me," and "Las de la Intuición." The anticipation surrounding her performances has reached fever pitch, especially considering the impressive stage setup featuring three gigantic screens and elaborate sound systems, which promise to deliver an immersive experience.
The concert is scheduled to kick off at 8:30 PM tonight and is projected to last about two and a half hours, concluding around 11:00 PM. Attendees are advised to plan their arrival accordingly, with doors opening at 5:00 PM to facilitate entry.
To guarantee the safety of concert-goers, the local authorities, including the Public Security Secretariat and Citizen Protection, are implementing the "Operativo Estadio". This security operation will deploy 100 personnel—50 from the police and 50 from traffic management—across key avenues leading to the venue such as Pablo Livas, Las Torres, and Benito Juárez. Preventive measures will begin at 4:00 PM, ensuring orderly traffic flow, with partial street closures during and after the event. It is recommended for attendees using rideshare services to be dropped off at designated areas near Walmart on Pablo Livas to ease congestion.
Although there is speculation about special guests, including the potential for Shakira to perform alongside mariachi musicians, nothing has been confirmed at this stage. The excitement is palpable as fans speculate about the experience Shakira is poised to deliver, promising to be unforgettable.
Following tonight's concert, which is the first of two scheduled shows at Estadio BBVA, Shakira will then perform at venues across Mexico, including two concerts at Estadio Akron in Guadalajara and seven record-breaking shows at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City. This series of performances reflects Shakira's immense popularity, solidifying her as the first artist to undertake seven consecutive shows at such a monumental venue.
With logistical plans underway, the Monterrey concert promises to be not just another event, but the start of something monumental for Shakira and her fans. Those attending tonight are reminded to arrive early to avoid potential traffic snags and enjoy every moment of the dynamic show.
