International pop sensation Shakira is preparing to return to India for a series of high-profile performances this April. The Colombian singer is scheduled to perform on 10 April in Mumbai and 15 April in New Delhi, headlining the third edition of the ‘Feeding India Concert 2026’, a collaborative initiative organised by the charitable organisation Feeding India and District by Zomato.
The concert aims to combine world-class entertainment with social advocacy. Organisers emphasise that Shakira’s visit is not merely a musical event but a platform to raise awareness about hunger and malnutrition in India. Alongside Shakira, several other international and Indian artists are expected to perform, creating a diverse and star-studded lineup.
Shakira, speaking in a statement ahead of the tour, said:
“Performing in India has always been incredibly special to me. I’m thrilled to reconnect with my fans in Mumbai and Delhi. The Feeding India Concert is more than music—it is a collective effort to ensure every child has access to the nutrition they need to grow and thrive.”
The singer’s commitment to social causes extends beyond her performances. Through her Barefoot Foundation, Shakira has been actively involved in promoting education and child welfare. This aligns closely with the Feeding India Concert’s mission to work towards a hunger-free nation.
Feeding India Concert is a community-driven initiative that also seeks to accelerate progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2: Zero Hunger by 2030. By combining popular music with social responsibility, the event hopes to inspire collective action and widespread awareness about child nutrition.
Shakira has a long-standing history with Indian audiences. Nearly two decades ago, she toured India, and in 2007, as part of her Oral Fixation Tour, she performed in Mumbai, leaving an indelible mark on fans. Her return promises to rekindle that excitement while promoting a crucial humanitarian message.
The following table summarises the schedule and key details of the upcoming performances:
| Date | City | Venue | Purpose & Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 April 2026 | Mumbai | Mahalaxmi Racecourse | Raise awareness on hunger and malnutrition |
| 15 April 2026 | New Delhi | Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium | Promote child nutrition and community engagement |
This tour marks another milestone in Shakira’s efforts to use her global platform for social good. By merging her artistry with advocacy, she aims to make music not just an entertainment experience but also a force for positive change. Fans in Mumbai and Delhi can look forward to spectacular performances that are as much about celebration as they are about conscience, highlighting the power of celebrity influence in addressing critical societal challenges.
The Feeding India Concert 2026 is expected to draw thousands of attendees and amplify the conversation around malnutrition, potentially setting a precedent for similar music-led humanitarian initiatives in the region.
