How to watch Shakira’s free performance taking place tonight in Brazil

  • Colombian superstar Shakira is scheduled to perform a free concert on Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach, with an estimated two million people expected to attend.
  • The event is part of her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" world tour and is anticipated to be the largest performance of her career, fulfilling a long-held dream to sing on the iconic beach. Rio's City Hall organized the concert as a strategic initiative to invigorate economic activity, following similar successful events by Madonna and Lady Gaga.
  • Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere highlighted the city's commitment to such events, projecting a 40-fold financial return on investment due to job creation and development. The performance is estimated to inject approximately $155 million into the local economy, with significant increases in tourism and Airbnb bookings reported for May.
  • In order to watch from the U.S., you need to use a VPN to bypass geo-restrictions and set your location to Brazil. You can also watch via Sling, which offers a Globo + Globoplay package for $13.99 a month, and DirecTV, which offers a Brazilian package for $20 a month.
