Abu Dhabi: One of the world’s most iconic pop artists is set to take center stage at a major music event in Abu Dhabi. Shakira has officially been announced as the headliner for the second edition of the OFFLIMITS Music Festival.

The Colombian sensation—who has sold over 95 million records, earned four GRAMMY Awards, and remains the most‑streamed female Latin artist in history—will perform at Etihad Park on Yas Island as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour.

Fans can look forward to a high‑energy show packed with hits from her two‑decade career, including chart‑toppers like Whenever, Wherever, She Wolf, and Hips Don’t Lie.

Festival‑goers can also expect more major artists from a variety of genres to be revealed in the coming weeks. Last year’s event was headlined by Ed Sheeran and featured big names such as OneRepublic, Kaiser Chiefs, and Faithless, creating an unforgettable full‑day music experience.

Tickets for the OFFLIMITS Music Festival will go on sale at 11am UAE time on Saturday, January 24.

Prices start at Dhs595, and tickets will be available for purchase through Fever.

Shakira will be joined by a diverse lineup of international and regional artists, curated to showcase OFFLIMITS’ signature open‑format style.

Each performer will bring their own unique sound and energy, adding to the festival’s bold, genre‑blending atmosphere.
