Yes we try stay objective most of the time but we at GP have long been admirers of Shakira’s latin grooves, her hip swaying hypnotism and we are only too happy to tell you that Shakira is coming to Dublin and Belfast.

It will be part of her 2010 tour, she is expected to have a sellout the whole way round, at this point in her career she has had 214 Global Award Nominations and over 50 million albums sold worldwide. She wrote one of the official world cup tunes performing at the opening ceremony and will sing again at the closing ceremony and only just this weekend played Glastonbury.

The events will be on December 16th in The O2, Dublin and December 17th in The Odyssey Arena, Belfast and tickets go on sale for both gigs on wednesday 7th July at 9am.

We reckon we’ll be there. What about you.
