SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO, JUL 12 – Bad Bunny's sold-out 30-show residency at San Juan's Coliseo de Puerto Rico celebrates local culture and resilience amid economic challenges, with 18,500-seat arena fully booked, officials said.
- Bad Bunny began a three-month residency on July 11 at José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, performing 30 sold-out shows.
- The residency arose from Bad Bunny's political statement to prioritize Puerto Rican fans, reflected by limiting the first nine shows to island residents.
- The shows highlight themes of Puerto Rican identity, colonialism, gentrification, and displacement, resonating with fans amid the island's economic and cultural revival.
- Historian Jorell Meléndez-Badillo said, the choice to skip the US in the tour is "likely a political statement," emphasizing Puerto Rican self-reliance.
- The residency has boosted tourism with fully booked hotels through September and stimulated local businesses seeking to align events with Bad Bunny’s cultural themes.
