Shakira’s Doha, Abu Dhabi and India Shows Postponed Over Regional Tensions

Organizers cite regional security risks tied to the Iran conflict.

Overview

  • Visit Qatar confirmed the April 1 Doha concert is postponed, and official listings now mark the date as to be confirmed.
  • In the UAE, OFFLIMITS Music Festival moved its April 4 Abu Dhabi event to November 21, 2026, and said existing tickets remain valid.
  • In India, District by Zomato delayed the Feeding India shows in Mumbai and Delhi until further notice and promised automatic full refunds.
  • Ticketing pages for the Doha date showed errors, which USA TODAY reported could reflect an AWS outage in the Bahrain region that Reuters linked to drone activity.
  • The disruption is rippling across lineups, with Ye shifting his first India show to May 23, as outlets frame the cause variously as the Iran war or a broader West Asia crisis.
