Bad Bunny commenced his highly anticipated 10-date Madrid residency at a completely sold-out Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Saturday, May 30. The Puerto Rican superstar captivated the audience for over two-and-a-half hours, taking them on a journey through his latest work, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” alongside some of the biggest hits from his extensive catalog. The night was a vibrant mix of celebratory moments, profound cultural references, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude, with the crowd enthusiastically participating in every song.

Addressing the Madrid audience, Bad Bunny expressed his delight, stating, “It feels good to be here in Madrid.” He set the tone for the evening by promising, “Tonight, we’re going to sing a lot of songs we haven’t sung before. I hope you’re ready.” This statement signaled a night of reflection on various stages of his career, while the fans turned nearly every chorus into a massive sing-along. The setlist featured popular tracks such as “La Mudanza,” “Callaíta,” “Turista,” “Tití Me Preguntó,” “Me Porto Bonito,” “Yonaguni,” and “Dákiti,” maintaining high energy levels throughout the entire show.

Bad Bunny frequently reminded the audience that almost 10 years had passed since his last performance in Madrid, which was on July 14, 2018, at the then-named WiZink Center. He used the occasion to thank his loyal supporters, particularly those who have been with him “from day one.” He emotionally declared, “Coming back to Madrid and performing like this fills my heart,” and later added, “I will always remember this night as the night I came back to Madrid. Thank you for waiting for me for so long.”

One of the most memorable segments unfolded at “La Casita,” his iconic second stage designed to resemble a Puerto Rican house. Here, Bad Bunny engaged directly with fans in the front rows, chatting, listening to their stories, and taking photos, all while the rest of the stadium watched intently. Five fortunate fans were chosen to join him after repeating the now-famous phrase, “Acho, PR es otra cosa” (“Puerto Rico is something else”), a ritual that has become a defining feature of his shows. Notable guests spotted at La Casita included actresses Esther Expósito and María León, as well as Italian entrepreneur and influencer Chiara Ferragni.

Another highly anticipated moment arrived with “Adivino,” the concert’s traditional “exclusive song.” The surprise guest for this performance was Myke Towers, who joined Bad Bunny on stage, eliciting one of the night’s loudest ovations. Towers extended his appearance, treating the crowd to a medley of his own hits, including “Diosa,” “Si Se Da,” “Lala,” and “La Falda.”

Puerto Rico’s spirit was ever-present throughout the evening. From the vibrant participation of Los Pleneros de la Cresta to Bad Bunny’s constant references to his homeland, the island’s influence was undeniable. The audience was a sea of pavas (traditional Puerto Rican hats), scarves, cayenne flowers, and flags from various Latin American countries. Benito celebrated this unity by stating, “Just for today, we are all Puerto Ricans,” a moment that resonated deeply with the crowd. He further expressed his enjoyment by adding, “I’m ready to spend the next three weeks here.”

This Madrid residency is part of the initial leg of the “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour,” which originally launched on November 21-22 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. According to Billboard Boxscore data, the tour has already achieved remarkable success, surpassing $200 million in revenue and establishing itself as one of the most triumphant tours of the year.
