Queen of Latin Music, Shakira to headline the Feeding India Concert 2026 in Mumbai and Delhi

 Feeding India, a not-for-profit along with District by Zomato, the going-out platform announces the third edition of the Feeding India Concert 2026. In a historic first for the initiative, global pop icon and multiple Grammy Award winner Shakira will headline shows in Mumbai on April 10 and in Delhi on April 15, marking the first time the Feeding India Concert will be held across multiple cities. The shows are presented by HSBC India, produced and exclusively ticketed by District by Zomato.

After years of anticipation, the Colombian superstar returns to India where fans have eagerly awaited the opportunity to experience her electrifying live performances. Beyond entertainment, her participation is set to significantly amplify national dialogue around hunger and malnutrition.

Commenting on the announcement, Shakira said,“Performing in India has always been special to me, and I’m excited to connect with my fans across Mumbai and Delhi. The Feeding India Concert is about more than music; it’s about standing together to ensure every child has access to the nutrition they need to thrive.”

The landmark expansion reflects the growing momentum behind one of India’s most impactful music-for-change initiatives, which have united artists, philanthropists, changemakers, and citizens in the shared mission of achieving Zero Hunger by 2030.

Shakira, whose chart-topping anthems including Hips Don’t Lie, Whenever, Wherever, and the World Cup phenomenon Waka Waka have made her one of the best-selling music artists of all time, brings more than just star power to the stage. Through her Barefoot Foundation, the Colombian superstar has championed education and child welfare for vulnerable communities worldwide, a mission that aligns with the Feeding India Concert’s vision of a hunger and malnutrition-free nation.

Rahul Ganjoo, CEO, District by Zomato, said, “This is a defining moment for the Feeding India Concert. Bringing an artist of Shakira’s global stature to two cities represents our commitment to scaling impact while delivering world-class entertainment. Music has the unique power to unite people across boundaries, and we’re leveraging that to drive meaningful conversations that can transform lives. This is what the Feeding India Concert stands for: experiences that move you emotionally while moving the needle on hunger.”

The Feeding India Concert is a community-driven initiative designed to accelerate progress toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger by 2030. The organization addresses hunger and malnutrition through a comprehensive approach: supporting large-scale systemic interventions with government, providing direct meal support to low-income, government, and non-government schools, and mobilizing a youth-led volunteer movement that raises awareness and drives action across communities.

The concert serves as an awareness platform bringing together diverse stakeholders in recognition that solving hunger requires collective action across all sectors of society.
