Shakira was set to perform at the Estadio Nacional in Lima, Peru on February 16, 2025. The concert was scheduled as part of the singer's ongoing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour. However, the singer canceled the story via an X post on the same day hours before the concert was supposed to start, stating:

"The doctors who are taking care of me have informed me I’m not in condition to perform a concert tonight. I’m very sad to not be able to get onstage today. I’ve been full of excitement and anticipation to see my beloved Peruvian fans again."

Shakira continued:

"I hope to be better tomorrow and to be discharged as soon as possible to be able to give you the show I’ve prepared for all of you. Our plan is to do this show as soon as possible. My team and the promoter are working on a new date to provide you. Thank you for understanding. I love you very much."

Shakira still has a concert at the same venue on February 17, 2025, at 07:00 p.m. Lima City local time. As of right now, the concert is scheduled to continue as usual.
