Bad Bunny Is Making Puerto Rico the Hottest Trip of 2025

PUERTO RICO, JUL 19 – Bad Bunny's residency blends reggaeton with traditional Puerto Rican rhythms and political themes, generating over $186 million and 3,600 jobs, officials said.

  • On July 11, 2025, Bad Bunny kicked off his three-month sold-out residency at San Juan’s José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, as videos of his shows and star attendees go viral.
  • Following his album’s chart success, Bad Bunny unveiled the residency in January after his sixth studio album Debí Tirar Más Fotos topped the Billboard 200, prioritizing native Puerto Ricans for tickets and deterring scalpers.
  • The concert visuals include an AI voiceover of Donald Trump apologizing and nods to a 1977 nationalist protest, while fans sport `la pava` straw hats and lyrics highlight Puerto Rico’s cultural legacy.
  • Puerto Rican officials estimate the residency will generate over $186 million, create more than 3,600 jobs and 35,000 hotel night bookings, with over 600,000 attendees expected this summer.
  • By excluding U.S. venues, the global trek of Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour means American fans will face similar ticket access dilemmas.
