Shakira's Alamodome Show Halted Due To Technical Snag, Fans Wait Hours In Heat
Last Updated: Shakira's postponement of the San Antonio show came as a shock to many who had already arrived at the Alamodome and were standing in long lines under the hot sun. Fans in San Antonio were left disappointed after Shakira's concert at the Alamodome was suddenly postponed. Many had already arrived at the venue and stood in long lines under the scorching sun, only to find out that the show would not go on. Some concertgoers said they waited for hours but were never allowed inside. According to Shakira's team, the cancellation was due to a technical issue with the stage setup. The problem involved a faulty truss — a crucial structure that supports production equipment — managed by a local staging company. With safety at risk, the concert was called off at the last minute. The singer's team assured fans that they are working to resolve the issue and reschedule the show as soon as possible. Fans waiting outside the venue shared photos of the huge crowd standing under the scorching Texas sun. Many were upset and took to social media to share their anger and frustration. Some even criticised the Hips Don't Lie singer by calling this unprofessional behaviour, as there was no early notice about the delay or cancellation. A user wrote, 'One hour in line with temperatures over 32 Celsius (90 Fahrenheit), people fainting and Alamodome and Shakira don't care at all about the fans." One hour in line with temperatures over 32 Celsius (90 Fahrenheit), people fainting and @Alamodome and @shakira doesn't care at all about the fans .. — Othon Santillan (@othonsantillan) June 13, 2025 Another shared, 'Worst concert experience ever Shakira. So this crowd has been waiting over an hour and a half. But the Alamodome refuses to open the gates. People are passing out. Apparently, all over stage issues." Worst concert experience ever #shakira. So this crowd has been waiting over an hour and a half. But the #alamodome refuses to open the gates. People are passing out. Apparently all over stage issues. — James (@scfan83) June 13, 2025 After receiving heavy criticism, Shakira explained why the show was postponed. She wrote, 'To perform in each city, we rely on a third party who locally provides the infrastructure to support the stage and the ceiling from which my production hangs. I am so sad to inform you that I have been told that due to a structural issue with a truss provided by this third-party company to support my stage, we are being forced to reschedule my sold-out show in San Antonio originally planned for tonight, June 13th." 'After a problem with the third-party structure in Boston, I demanded the addition of a new group of engineers and I have met directly with the company so that it could be thoroughly re-evaluated. After a detailed review, the company experts and engineers personally promised me that they had reinforced the structure and they guaranteed me 100% the safety and reliability of the show going forward. Not being able to perform for you tonight deeply affects me and my fans in San Antonio. I am here, devastated and heartbroken. I'm here trying to find a solution so can reschedule this San Antonio show for the coming days," the singer added. This is not the first time Shakira had to cancel a show due to technical problems. In the past, the singer has cancelled shows in several places, including Washington DC, Boston, Peru, and Chile. These repeated issues have left many fans disappointed and some have even raised concerns about how her tour is being managed. First Published:

‘People fainting, but Shakira doesn't care': Fans mad after San Antonio show postponed last minute
Shakira fans were left furious after her Friday night concert at the Alamodome in San Antonio was postponed at the last minute due to reported structural issues. Before the postponement was announced, many concertgoers shared images and videos of long lines outside the stadium under blistering heat. Fans reported being held outside for hours without being allowed to enter. 'One hour in line with temperatures over 32 Celsius (90 Fahrenheit), people fainting and @Alamodome and @shakira doesn't care at all about the fans,' one attendee tweeted. Another added, 'Worst concert experience ever #shakira. So this crowd has been waiting over an hour and a half. But the #alamodome refuses to open the gates. People are passing out. Apparently all over stage issues.' A third person wrote, "Alamodome your email for the Shakira concert said doors open at 5:30, instead you have hundreds of people overheating for 30 minutes and counting." Live Nation later confirmed the postponement, stating, 'Unfortunately, Shakira's performance tonight has been postponed due to structural issues. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date once announced. More information will be emailed to ticketholders directly when available. We apologize for the inconvenience.' After the official announcement, fans expressed frustration online, blaming both Shakira's team and the venue for the mismanagement. One person vented, 'How can you cancel on San Antonio at the last minute???? 40,000 people turned away?' Another wrote, 'There is some bigger problem happening in @shakira team. How come in few cities she cancels concert on the day of its happening and it's related to structural issues? Why is her team not checking everything on time if that's the problem?" Another fan tweeted, 'This is just a bad joke at this point. When is @Shakira going to fire her entire team and work with people that are at her level?'

I Tried Shakira's New Hair Line Isima & It Actually Helped My Itchy Scalp
I'm often terrified of trying new hair products. I have scalp psoriasis, and many formulas leave my skin painfully (and embarrassingly) red, flaky, and itchy. But when I heard Shakira's new haircare line, Isima, included products specifically for parched, sensitive scalps, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try. I know what you're thinking, do we need another celebrity beauty line? I thought the same thing. But this one kind of made sense. For years, the Colombian musical icon has been candid about her own hair struggles, from damage due to constant styling and coloring to scalp issues brought on by the intense demands of life in the spotlight. While Shakira may not be a trichologist herself, I was confident she'd collaborate with the right experts to create something that works for the both of us. The performance-focused brand offers a comprehensive range of products developed to meet the diverse needs of Latina hair, which, of course, includes all colors, textures, and patterns. The line features eight products, including moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, exfoliating scalp scrubs and serums, a curl cream playfully named Curls Don't Lie, a deeply reparative peptide hair mask, and a featherlight hair oil that softens without heaviness. At the core of every formula is the brand's TriModal Method, a proprietary approach grounded in biotrichology that simultaneously supports the scalp, strengthens the inner hair shaft (cortex), and protects the outer layer (cuticle). ' "I feel like I have my hair more under control and can wear it more natural and be organic about it. I don't have to be so exposed to hair dryers and curling irons and flat irons. I can just let it be." shakira ' "I'm really happy where I am right now with my hair, especially with my products from Isima," Shakira told Refinery29 Somos. "I feel like I have my hair more under control and can wear it more natural and be organic about it. I don't have to be so exposed to hair dryers and curling irons and flat irons. I can just let it be." Since starting Isima a week ago, I have also just let my hair just be: I've been air drying not using any styling tools. While the line is inclusive of various hair types, many of the formulas cater to those with hair like Shakira's: wavy to curl and often dry or damaged from years of bleaching, dyeing, and heat styling. My hair, by contrast, is straight and virgin, but I still found plenty to love. I started with Iconic, a densifying scalp serum, applying about four full drops directly to my scalp and massaging it in with a soft-bristled scrubber. Ten minutes later, I shampooed with Reset, a clarifying cleanser, then followed with Suavísima, a rich, hydrating conditioner. Out of the shower, I sealed it all in with All In, a restorative leave-in treatment. The full routine left my hair feeling clarified and refreshed and, best of all, never greasy or weighed down. If I had one complaint about the products I used, it's the scent. While the line is marketed as having a soft, floral fragrance, it leaned more toward the territory of a high school boyfriend's cheap cologne. It's not offensive enough to stop me from using the products, but it's definitely not the signature scent I'd like to carry in my hair all day. ' "Isima meets people's complex hair needs. It's about innovation, freedom, and science." shakira ' But what's most important is that "Isima meets people's complex hair needs," as Shakira says. "It's about innovation, freedom, and science." It's also for the girls who want to give the most without doing the most. The name Isima is inspired by the Spanish word "ísima," a suffix used to emphasize the elevated, the best, and the most. It captures Shakira's vision of creating products that don't just work, but also elevate hair to its softest, healthiest, and fullest state. Rooted in both Latin American language and culture, the name also reflects the brand's commitment to sourcing powerful, heritage-rich ingredients from across the region, honoring beauty rituals passed down through generations, and reimagining them through modern science. The Somos team was among the first to try Isima. Each of us has different hair types and hair concerns. Here's what we can say about the products. Reset Clarifying Shampoo, $32 Think of this as your hair's reset button. Designed to gently lift away buildup from product, oil, and city grime, this shampoo brings your scalp back to balance without leaving your strands dry or stripped. It's a great weekly refresh, especially if you're layering on styling products or dry shampoo. Riquísima Hydrating Shampoo, $32 This one's a rich, lathering shampoo made for hair that craves moisture. It delivers a nourishing cleanse that leaves strands softer, smoother, and noticeably more manageable. Suavísima Hydrating Conditioner, $32 If your ends feel brittle, this conditioner is a game-changer. Thick and creamy but not heavy, it helps detangle, soften, and bring life back to dull or overworked strands. Superbomba Triple Peptide Hair Mask, $38 Superbomba is the hero of the line. This reparative mask leaves your hair feeling like silk. It's especially great for hair that's been through heat styling, coloring, or just general neglect. Leave it on while you answer emails or binge your latest show. It's worth giving it the extra minutes. Iconic Densifying Scalp Serum, $42 This leave-on scalp treatment is all about supporting fuller, healthier-looking hair. It's lightweight, non-greasy, and easy to apply. Just massage a few drops into your scalp. With continued use, it aims to bring volume and strength from the root up. We haven't used it long enough to see those kinds of results, but it has definitely cleared build-up on our scalps, so things are off to a good start. This is a do-it-all leave-in that smooths, softens, detangles, and protects without leaving your hair feeling coated or heavy. It's ideal for busy mornings or low-maintenance styling days, and it helps keep your hair strong and silky, whether you're heat styling or air drying. This styling cream brings definition, bounce, and hold to textured hair. It's ideal for waves, curls, or coils that need moisture and structure. Whether you're going for soft definition or a more sculpted look, this product gets your curls where you want them. Delicia Reparative Hair Oil, $36 This is a lightweight, high-shine oil that works just as well for frizz control as it does for adding a silky finish. It smooths ends, adds polish, and gives your hair that glossy, just-styled look, minus the grease. Note: a little goes a long way.
