In celebration of Hard Rock International’s annual “International Women’s Month” in March and International Women’s Day on Saturday, March 8, Hard Rock and global superstar, Shakira, announce a year-long partnership that aims to empower women around the world to tell their stories, be their authentic selves and unite through the power of music.
Hard Rock Cafe Manchester will host a number of performances in the restaurant in March including Idyllic (7th), Lisa T (12th), and Outfoxed (28th), and aims to raise funds through its charitable arm, Hard Rock Heals Foundation®.

“I’m excited to partner with Hard Rock, an organisation with an incredible history of uplifting women through the power of music, to empower my sisters this International Women’s Day and beyond,” said Shakira. “Together we can use our voices to break barriers and make the world a more inclusive space where every woman feels confident being themselves.”
Aneta Jarzmik, General Manager at Hard Rock Cafe Manchester, commented: “We’re really excited to have such an iconic global star represent Hard Rock Cafe for such an important cause. We can’t think of a better figure to help celebrate and empower women whilst also bringing her own Colombian twist to our menu!”
In addition, the Hard Rock Heals Foundation is proud to donate $250,000 to Pies Descalzos Foundation in addition to guest contributions to this program.
