In a statement shared on Instagram, it was said that the concert had been delayed until further notice due to the prevailing geopolitical situation and regional instability. Reports also suggest that the disruption may be linked to issues affecting Amazon Web Services, possibly due to drone activity in the Bahrain region. On the ‘Visit Qatar’ website, the concert date has now been listed as “to be announced.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shakira (@shakira) Meanwhile, another concert scheduled in the United Arab Emirates, where Shakira was set to perform on April 4, has also been postponed, though ticketing platforms have not specified the reason. Regional tensions have intensified following joint military actions by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28 under the leadership of Donald Trump. Although Qatar is not directly involved in the conflict, several Gulf countries including Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain have remained under threat of Iranian missile and drone attacks, with multiple incidents reported and intercepted in recent weeks.
