Shakira to Headline Off Limits Music Festival 2026 in Abu Dhabi

Global music icon Shakira has been announced as the headline act for the 2026 edition of Off Limits Music Festival, set to take place at Etihad Park on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, on April 4. The performance marks the Colombian superstar’s return to the UAE as part of her highly anticipated Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour.

Off Limits Music Festival, billed as the UAE’s first open-format and largest genre-blending music festival, has quickly established itself as a standout event on the regional entertainment calendar. The festival is known for its expansive multi-stage setup, seamlessly combining live music with art installations, immersive visual design and curated cultural experiences.

Shakira’s Abu Dhabi appearance will bring her signature high-energy live show to the capital, featuring a catalogue of global hits that have defined her decades-long career. The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour celebrates her latest musical era while revisiting the songs that have cemented her status as one of the world’s most influential performers.

With more than 95 million records sold worldwide, Shakira is a four-time GRAMMY Award winner and a 15-time Latin GRAMMY recipient. She also holds the distinction of being the most-streamed female Latin artist of all time, underscoring her enduring global appeal across generations and cultures. 

The announcement further strengthens Off Limits Music Festival’s position as a premier international live music destination, with Shakira’s headline set expected to draw fans from across the UAE and beyond to Yas Island next spring.
