Beginning July 11, 2025, Bad Bunny kicks off a 30-show residency at the iconic José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum (El Choli) in San Juan, running through September 14.
The first nine shows (July 11–13, 18–20, 25–27) are exclusively reserved for Puerto Rican residents, prioritizing local fans. Ticket sales began in January, and the residency—a first for the island—sold out all 30 dates in mere hours.
This unprecedented residency is not just entertainment—it’s a cultural statement. Drawing from his latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, Bad Bunny addresses tourism, gentrification, environmental concerns, colonial legacy, and Puerto Rican identity. The residency’s name translates to “I don’t want to leave here,” reinforcing his deep connection to his roots and resistance to Puerto Rican displacement.
The residency coincides with the release of several politically charged singles and visuals like “NUEVAYoL,” whose July 4 video underscores unity among Puerto Ricans on the island and diaspora.
With a projected 600,000+ attendees, local hotel occupancy surged to around 70%, and flight searches rose by 12%, signaling a major economic boost. Estimates suggest a conservative $200M+ impact to Puerto Rico’s economy, creating thousands of jobs.
Even sports superstar LeBron James chimed in—posting in Spanish that he’ll be at the July 11 opening night. His message, “¡Benito! Estoy en el aeropuerto… LFG!”, highlights the residency’s massive cultural pull.
Once the residency wraps from July 11 to September 14, Bad Bunny will seamlessly transition into the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour starting November 21. But Puerto Rico’s spotlight remains fixed firmly on him this summer.
Bad Bunny’s “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” residency is a triumphant declaration of pride, culture, and community. It’s his first-ever island residency, blending music with powerful socio-political commentary, delivering economic benefits, and keeping Puerto Rican fans at the forefront.
