Shakira Sells Out Los Angeles Staples Center in 24 Hours! Seven Additional Tour Dates Unveiled For North America

LOS ANGELES, May 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Grammy Award winning superstar Shakira sells out the Staples Center in just 24 hours, her first Los Angeles show in more than 4 years.  A second Los Angeles area show has been scheduled in Anaheim on October 25th at the Honda Center along with 6 additional dates for the Live Nation produced tour including stops in Chicago, Oakland, San Diego, San Antonio, Dallas, and Uncasville.  More dates to be announced soon.  Tickets for the newly announced shows go on sale on May 14th at LiveNation.com.

Shakira has toured the United States just twice in her career, first in 2002 for the "Tour of the Mongoose" and again in 2006 for the "Oral Fixation Tour" which grossed more than $100 million.  The Washington Post raved about her 2006 tour saying, "Shakira doesn't need much to take it to the rafters. No pyrotechnics, no army of back up dancers, no elaborate staging – not even a pair of shoes.  Just her charisma, pipes and hips."
