On March 1 at 8:00 p.m., there will be a free Shakira concert in Mexico City, specifically in the Zócalo. And although thousands of people are already planning to head to the heart of the Historic Center, not everyone loves the idea of facing the crowds just to see La Loba.
If you’re someone who prefers more space or simply wants another option, there’s good news: giant screens will be installed at different points throughout Mexico City so that no one misses out on singing along to her hits.
Streets surrounding the Zócalo
In addition to the main stage, there will be screens on nearby roads that will serve as an extension of the event. You can watch the concert from:
- November 20
- Pino Suárez
- May 5
These streets, located a few steps from the Zócalo, will allow you to follow the show without having to be right in front of the stage. It’s an ideal alternative if you arrive late or if the main entrance is already full.
Alameda Central and Monument to the Revolution
If you want to avoid the Zócalo altogether, there will also be giant screens in the Alameda Central and at the Monument to the Revolution.
Both spaces have large esplanades and are often used as alternate venues for large events. Here you can experience the collective atmosphere of the concert, but with a different dynamic and, possibly, less crowded than the main square in the center.
The event is organized in conjunction with the Mexico City government and the Corona brand, and will be produced by OCESA, so a significant technical deployment is expected at all points with live broadcasts.
So now you know: if you don’t want to go directly to the Zócalo, you have several options to enjoy Shakira for free on March 1. Just choose your strategic spot and get ready to sing at the top of your lungs.
