Shakira sets up record for largest concert ever in Mexico City

Singer-songwriter Shakira has set a new record after her recent live performance. The singer performed to more than 400,000 people at Mexico City’s Zocalo over the weekend, the largest crowd ever recorded at the iconic square.

The free event turned the capital into a full scale celebration as fans travelled from across the country to witness the star’s landmark performance. Giant screens were installed throughout the surrounding streets, with additional viewing areas to accommodate the enormous turnout, reports Female First UK.

Colombian artiste Beele joined Shakira onstage to debut their new collaboration Algo Tu, which will officially release on May 4. The crowd erupted for hits including Hips Don’t Lie, Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) and Don’t Bother, turning the Zocalo into one of the biggest dancefloors in the world.

Her latest achievements follow a major accolade from Billboard, which recently confirmed her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour as the highest grossing Hispanic tour in history.

The trek pulled in $421.6 million across 82 stadium dates in the US and Latin America, drawing more than 3.3 million fans.
