After a 15-year absence, Shakira is officially returning to the UAE. The global pop icon will headline the OFFLIMITS Music Festival 2026 on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at Etihad Park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi — her first UAE show since 2011.
The Comeback Date Is Locked
Shakira's Yas Island performance is part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, named after her acclaimed 2024 album. The Abu Dhabi date marks a milestone: her previous UAE appearances were in 2007, 2008, and 2011, making this her fourth visit to the region and her first in over a decade.
What OFFLIMITS Music Festival 2026 Means
OFFLIMITS returns for its second edition in 2026. The inaugural festival in 2025 headlined Ed Sheeran and instantly cemented the event as one of the UAE's premier live music experiences.
Shakira's catalog spans decades of global hits — Hips Don't Lie, Whenever Wherever, and Waka Waka among them. Her father's Lebanese heritage also lends this Middle East show a personal dimension that resonates with regional audiences.
