Shakira, the renowned Colombian singer, has created substantial excitement as she arrives for her highly anticipated concerts at Estadio BBVA, located in Guadalupe, Nuevo León, Mexico. Scheduled for March 12 and 13, 2025, these concerts mark the beginning of her "Las mujeres ya no lloran" tour, which promises to be one of the most significant of her career.
The tour commenced back in November 2023 with 14 dates across North America, generating tremendous buzz among fans. Shakira's concerts are expected to be monumental events filled with her signature hits and stunning stage productions, eagerly awaited by fans throughout the region and beyond.
To facilitate the influx of attendees, the Metrorrey transportation service has announced extended service hours until 01:00 on March 13, 2025, following the concert. This expansion aims to provide safe and reliable transit options for the concert-goers, which will minimize the risk of traffic congestion and improve overall attendee experience.
"This extension of Metrorrey hours is aimed at ensuring safety and convenience for concert attendees," officials at Metrorrey stated. This announcement has been well received, considering the expected large turnout and enthusiasm surrounding Shakira's performances.
Concert-goers who choose to use Metrorrey can board exclusively at the Exposición station, the terminal for Line 1, which is located about 22 minutes away from Estadio BBVA via foot. While other stations on the Metro lines will only allow disembarkation during these extended hours, this provision will help attendees access the concert with minimal hassle.
For those preferring different forms of transportation, several bus routes serve the area, including Ruta 223, Ruta 93, Ruta 83, Ruta 214, Ruta 224, and Ruta 85, which are conveniently positioned close to the venue.
Further enhancing the experience for attendees, local restaurants are prepared to welcome guests before or after the concert. Attendees have various options, from fast food to traditional Mexican cuisine. Noteworthy spots include Carl's Jr., located directly across from the stadium, which offers quick meals such as hamburgers and shakes.
For those wanting authentic tacos, Taquería Las Delicias, also nearby, is well-known for its barbacoa tacos and spicy red salsa. Meanwhile, if the concerts run late, Palax, located on Avenida Benito Juárez, provides 24-hour dining for those wishing to enjoy more substantial meals without time constraints.
"The excitement around Shakira's return is palpable, and we expect huge turnout for these concerts," stated a local venue representative. With her widely loved hits like “Hips Don’t Lie” and “Te Felicito,” this tour aims to captivate audiences and bring them joy once again.
Travelers are encouraged to plan their routes and anticipates potential traffic due to the event's scale, particularly near the stadium.
