Shakira Performance for World Pride Opening Concert Abruptly Canceled Due to Technical Issues

Shakira abruptly canceled her scheduled Saturday night performance at Nationals Park for the World Pride 2025 kickoff concert in Washington, D.C.
The cancellation occurred due to equipment problems stemming from complications during her concert scheduled for Thursday evening at Fenway Park in Boston, which was called off just hours before it was to start.
The Capital Pride Alliance confirmed that Shakira's full tour production could not be transported to Washington in time, prompting the relocation and reorganization of the kickoff ceremony while other citywide events remain scheduled.
Shakira expressed being "sad and heartbroken" over the cancellation and hopes to return, while President Elliott Ferguson noted a last-minute surge in local and national attendance despite concerns about international participation.
The cancellation adds a further logistical challenge for the Capital Pride Alliance amid expected reduced international attendance due to concerns in the LGBTQ+ community regarding U.S. Immigration policies and travel warnings.
