Overview
- Rio mayor Eduardo Paes asked followers to “bet” on the 2026 headliner, naming Bono/U2, Adele, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Paul McCartney, Shakira, Chris Martin/Coldplay, Britney Spears and Justin Bieber.
- Deezer alerted users to a Shakira concert on May 9, 2026 at Copacabana, though no such date appears on the singer’s official channels.
- Shakira’s Brazilian fan club said the event post was false, and the associated Songkick entry that feeds streaming agendas has been taken down.
- The Todo Mundo no Rio press office says no artist is confirmed and it will not comment on speculation or possible negotiations.
- Paes stoked the buzz by sharing a Shakira clip with the caption “Será? Eu não sei de nada!”, as Rio looks to follow Madonna’s 2024 and Lady Gaga’s 2025 mass‑attendance beach shows.
