Colombian singer Shakira will perform a free concert in Mexico City's Zócalo on March 1, 2026. The event, organized by Grupo Modelo with support from the Mexico City Government, celebrates the brewery's 100th anniversary. Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada confirmed there will be no cost to the government.
Shakira confirmed in a social media video that she will return to Mexico City's Zócalo for a free concert on March 1, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. In her message, the artist recalled her previous performance at the same venue nearly 20 years ago, in 2007, and expressed gratitude to her Mexican fans.
"México lindo, ¿se acuerdan cuando canté para ustedes en el Zócalo? Quiero contarles que esa experiencia se va a repetir el primero de marzo a las 8:00 de la noche", Shakira said in the video, tagging the accounts of the Mexico City Government and Corona beer.
The event is part of the celebrations for the 100th anniversary of Grupo Modelo, the brewery founded in Mexico City. The brand's president invited the public to attend the concert in the heart of the capital. Grupo Modelo will cover the event's expenses, while the Mexico City Government will assist with coordination and management of the public space.
Clara Brugada, the city's mayor, stressed that "este espectáculo se hace sin ningún costo para el gobierno". Screens will also be set up at various points in the Historic Center so more people can watch the show. It has not been disclosed whether Shakira will receive payment for her performance.
The announcement sparked speculation on social media, particularly after a sports event in the same plaza was rescheduled, but authorities clarified the organization details.
