LateRooms.com - Shakira Set for Bilbao Concert

    BILBAO, SPAIN, May 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Visitors to Bilbao will have an opportunity to see pop princess Shakira in concert on Saturday June 4th.

The South American singer is due to perform at the city's Estadio San Mames, giving fans a chance to hear massive hits such as She Wolf, Hips Don't Lie and Whenever, Wherever in a live setting.

Shakira began recording and performing music as a teenager in her native Colombia, receiving several industry awards and winning many fans before her first English language album Laundry Service was released in 2001.

She has since become a regular fixture in charts around the world, collaborating with a diverse range of artists including Wyclef Jean, Annie Lennox, Dizzee Rascal and Beyonce.

In Spain, the 34-year-old has received plenty of media attention in recent months as a result of her relationship with Gerard Pique, the Barcelona and Spanish international footballer.

Tickets to see Shakira perform in Bilbao are priced between EUR45 and EUR60 (GBP39.90 and GBP53.20).

The Estadio San Mames, which can hold almost 40,000 people, is the home of La Liga football club Athletic Bilbao.

Concert-goers planning to book a hotel in Bilbao for the show will find a wide range of options at LateRooms.com, including the Hotel Carlton Bilbao.
