Shakira announced a free concert in Mexico City’s Zócalo on March 1, in a joint announcement with the Mexico City government, per Reuters.

TL;DR

A free Shakira show in the Zócalo is a massive, no-ticket-needed flex. Now the only question is how the city handles the logistics and whether it gets a global broadcast moment.

Key Details

• Artist: Shakira
• What’s happening: Free public concert
• Date: March 1 (night of)
• Where: Mexico City’s Zócalo
• Source: Reported by Reuters, announced alongside the Mexico City government
• Still TBD: Set length, guests, broadcast/streaming plans, and access/crowd-flow details

Breakdown

Per Reuters, Shakira is bringing a free concert to Mexico City’s Zócalo on the night of March 1, and she announced it together with the city government. That’s a big deal on its own: the Zócalo is a “make history” venue, not a normal tour stop.

The no-ticket barrier is the headline. A superstar + one of the world’s most famous public squares + free entry usually turns into a cultural moment, not just a show — especially if it’s filmed or streamed.

What we don’t have yet (per the reporting) is the full rollout: how long she plays, whether any surprise guests show up, and what the access plan looks like as the city gears up for crowd control.
