Freedom to Celebrate
Welcome Ceremony + Concert
Like Shakira’s fans and our friends and family who have traveled from around the world to join us in DC this weekend, we are deeply disappointed that unforeseen circumstances have forced the cancellation of both this week’s concert in Boston and tomorrow’s concert at Nationals Park.
But WorldPride will absolutely continue as planned! This weekend remains packed with programming for the entire community, including:
- WorldPride Welcome Party Benefiting Capital Cup At Berhta in NE DC
- Capital Cup Sports Festival at various venues around the city (the action starts today!)
- LIBERATION WKND at Black Cat
- Glitter Ball Drag Show at Shaw’s Tavern
- AIDS Memorial Quilt Display in Dupont Circle
- Taste of Pride: Dupont Circle BID & 17th Street
- PRISM at Anthem Row/ World Pride Exchange
- Daryl Wilson Promotions: Sundaze Service Mega Day Party
The full WorldPride schedule is available here, including next weekend’s free Street Festival & Concerts featuring Cynthia Erivo, Doechii, and many more! Updates about the relocated Opening Ceremony program will be released as soon as they are finalized! We look forward to seeing everyone around the city over the week ahead as our global community comes together to honor 50 years of Pride in the nation’s capital!
The below statement has been released to the fans related to tomorrow’s concert cancellation.
Due to complications with the previous show in Boston, Shakira’s full tour production cannot be transported to Washington, D.C. in time for her scheduled performance at Nationals Park on Saturday, May 31. As a result, the D.C. show has been canceled. Despite every effort to make it happen, it is not possible to move forward as planned. Refunds will be issued automatically for Ticketmaster and nationals.com purchases—no further action is required. For tickets purchased through third-party resellers (StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, etc.), please contact your point of purchase directly.
