Shakira’s Boston concert called off hours before show

  • Shakira's concert at Boston’s Fenway Park has been cancelled hours before she was scheduled to perform, along with Jason Aldean's concert the following day, due to “unforeseen circumstances”.
  • Local reports suggest structural issues with the staging were the reason for the cancellation after an inspection determined the staging was not structurally sound.
  • According to WCVB, the staging "fell apart" during rehearsals on Thursday.
  • Live Nation told Boston 25 that "structural elements were identified as not being up to standard" during a routine pre-show check, ensuring all team members are safe.
  • This cancellation follows previous issues on Shakira's tour, including hospitalisation in Lima, Peru, and stage damage in Medellín, Colombia. Attendees at her MetLife Stadium show in New Jersey were also warned of potential measles exposure.
