Shakira Confirms Free Two-Hour Zócalo Concert in Mexico City on March 1

The privately funded event will be produced by OCESA with expanded viewing areas and initial transit restrictions announced to handle expected crowds.

Overview

  • The free performance begins at 8 p.m. on Sunday, March 1, and is scheduled to last exactly two hours.
  • Grupo Modelo/Corona is financing the event at no cost to the city, with large-scale production handled by OCESA.
  • To expand access, giant screens will line 20 de Noviembre, Pino Suárez and 5 de Mayo streets and will be placed at Alameda Central and the Monumento a la Revolución, with a partial live stream on Shakira’s official channels.
  • The Metro will close the Zócalo‑Tenochtitlan and Allende stations for the event, advising Bellas Artes, Pino Suárez and San Juan de Letrán as nearby options.
  • City agencies expect very large crowds, will release detailed security and mobility guidance in the coming days, and plan onsite measles vaccination posts during the concert.
