The Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in addition to being the venue for the opening match between Argentina and Canada, will also serve as the stage for the Opening Show of the Copa America 2024, which will take place between June 20 and July 14. That is why the expectation is enormous, to such an extent that renowned artists are being mentioned: Ferxxo is already confirmed and Shakira’s name is being mentioned, although for now it is only a rumor.
The contest was in charge, through social networks, of making official the presence of the 31-year-old man who managed to get into the top 20 of Spotify Global and Billboard, in addition to selling out his concerts in Europe and the United States. “And this?”, the organization wondered when sharing an image of his dark glasses with two crosses on each lens, something that identifies him worldwide.

Who is Feid, the singer chosen for the opening show of the Copa America 2024?
His real name is Salomón Villada Hoyos and he was born on August 19, 1992 in Medellín, Colombia. His beginnings in the music industry were as a composer of songs for J Balvin, Maluma and Nicky Jam.
After shining as a ladero, he decided to take a step forward and launch himself as an interpreter of his own products, a task that prospered: he was recognized with Grammy and Billboard awards, also occupying the top positions of the most listened songs of today.
Ferxxo 100, Castigo, Normal, LUNA, Classy 101 and SORRY 4 THAT MUCH are some of his material that can be heard all over the globe, which could be part of his presentation menu this Thursday night.
Will Shakira be at the opening ceremony of Copa America 2024?
Expectations are growing for the opening ceremony of the Copa America 2024, to be held on June 20 from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Georgia. CONMEBOL announced that multi-Grammy award-winning artist Feid will open the event.
The Colombian, who has received rave reviews for his Ferxxoapocalypse Tour through the United States and Canada this year, was announced as the star of the show when CONMEBOL posted an image on social media of a soccer ball and a pair of glasses adorned with double crosses, a signature look for the reggaeton artist.
However, Feid will not be the only star to light up the stage. Rumors persist that Shakira will also perform at the ceremony. Since her song “Punteria” is the official anthem of the Copa America, it is likely that she will perform the hit live.
