Overview
- Rio mayor Eduardo Paes asked followers to “bet” on the 2026 Todo Mundo no Rio headliner, posting a card with names such as U2’s Bono, Adele, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Paul McCartney, Shakira, Chris Martin, Britney Spears and Justin Bieber.
- Deezer displayed and emailed a May 9, 2026 Copacabana date for Shakira, a listing tied to Songkick that outlets report was later removed.
- Shakira’s Brazilian fan club said the Songkick/Deezer entry was false and explained that streaming platforms can auto-pull erroneous events from partner sites.
- Paes shared a Shakira video with the caption “Será? Eu não sei de nada!” and the Todo Mundo no Rio press office declined to comment on speculation.
- After Madonna in 2024 and Lady Gaga in 2025 drew crowds in the millions, public debate continues while organizers have yet to confirm the 2026 attraction.
