Gracing the main stage during the musical celebration's fifth day, Shakira was the closing act at the Rock in Rio music festival on Friday night (September 30).

The Colombian beauty brought her high-energy efforts to the forefront as she dazzled the Palco Mundo packed audience with songs such as "Estoy Aqui," "Nothing Else Matters," "Gypsy," "Whenever, Wherever," "Te Dejo Madrid," "Inevitable," "Loca" and "La Tortura".

Shakira's efforts followed another jam-packed lineup of performers, with other day five entertainers including Lenny Kravitz, Ivete Sangalo, Jota Quest and Marcelo D2.

Meanwhile, the 34-year-old has denied claims that she had been booked to perform at a birthday celebration for the leader of the war-torn Russian republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov.

Making it clear that she had no plans of partaking in such a gig, Shakira tweeted, “Contrary to any misreporting, Shakira is not performing nor was she ever booked to perform a gig for the Chechen president or government."

Helping to draw a little added attention prior to next week's release date, a handful of Hollywood stars stepped out for the RAGE Official Launch Party in Los Angeles on Friday night (September 30).

Held at Chinatown’s Historical Central Plaza, the video game celebratory fete was hosted by Charlize Theron while including a special performance by The Black Keys.

Among those joining in on the night's festivities were Alessandra Ambrosio, Joe Mangianello, Rumer Willis, Mark Salling, Stacy Keibler, Michelle Rodriguez and Snoop Dogg.

Due in stores on October 7th, RAGE is self-described as "a groundbreaking first-person shooter set in the not-too-distant future after an asteroid impacts Earth."
