Bad Bunny Announces 21-Date Puerto Rico Residency, Prioritizing Local Fans

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Global reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny has announced a 21-date residency in his native Puerto Rico, titled “No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí” (“I Don’t Want to Leave Here”). The residency, set to take place at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, will run from July 11 to Aug. 24, 2025, with the first nine shows exclusively for local residents.

The residency follows the release of Bad Bunny’s sixth studio album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. The artist has described the album as his “most Puerto Rican” work to date, addressing themes such as gentrification and the island’s political challenges. The residency’s title, inspired by his hit song “El Apagón,” reflects his deep connection to Puerto Rico.

Tickets for the first nine “residents only” shows will go on sale Jan. 15, 2025, at 10 a.m. AST and will only be available for in-person purchase at various locations across the island. Registration for the remaining shows, which opens Jan. 13 and closes Jan. 14 at 11:59 p.m. AST, offers fans the chance to receive a pre-sale code. Pre-sale begins Jan. 17 at 10 a.m. AST.

Produced by Bad Bunny’s manager Noah Assad’s Move Concerts, the residency will also feature VIP packages, including two-night hotel stays, premium tickets, priority entry, and limited-edition gift bags. These packages will be available for purchase starting Jan. 15.

The Coliseo de Puerto Rico, a cultural and economic hub, will host the residency, which is expected to draw thousands of fans. Bad Bunny’s decision to prioritize local residents for the initial shows underscores his commitment to his homeland. “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” released Jan. 5, 2025, has been praised for its poignant lyrics and cultural significance.

When asked about the album’s title, which translates to “I Should Have Taken More Photos,” Bad Bunny explained, “It’s a reminder to appreciate moments and people. Photos used to be something very special, and today we take them for granted.”

The residency dates are as follows: July 11-13, 18-20, 25-27 (local residents only); Aug. 1-3, 8-10, 15-17, 22-24 (open to all).
