Colombian singer Shakira may perform in Bishkek as early as November. Kyrgyz representatives are negotiating with the artist's team regarding the concert, but the exact date has not yet been confirmed, 24.kg reports.
Kanybek Tumanbayev, Head of the Presidential Property Management Department, announced the possible performance. He posted a video of the singer on social media with the caption: "Shakira! Coming soon to Bishkek Arena! Are you waiting?" The Presidential Property Management Department confirmed that the parties are currently negotiating the organizational terms of the show.
The concert is planned to be held at the new Bishkek Arena stadium, which has a capacity of approximately 51 thousand spectators and is built to FIFA standards. The venue opened on August 31 with the opening ceremony of the VI World Nomad Games, which also featured a performance by American singer Nicole Scherzinger.
The organizers have not yet announced ticket prices or the on-sale date. Shakira's world tour schedule on her official website does not currently list a concert in Bishkek. Her next confirmed performance in the region is scheduled for November 28 at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt.
