Produced by OCESA and backed by the Mexico City Government and Grupo Modelo, the concert extended beyond the plaza via citywide screens, scaling the footprint in real time.

The setlist ran from Hips Don’t Lie to Waka Waka (This Time for Africa), with Beéle joining for the live debut of Algo Tú. The performance feeds momentum into her Copacabana Beach return and follows the $421.6M-grossing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour — officially the highest-grossing Hispanic tour in history.

Mass-scale staging. Civic partnership. Direct-to-public access. Shakira continues operating at infrastructure level, not cycle level.
