Bad Bunny draws 64,000 fans to Madrid concert at Riyadh Air Metropolitano

Puerto‑Rican artist Bad Bunny performed a nearly three‑hour show at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano arena in Madrid, attracting about 64,000 attendees. The concert was the first of ten scheduled shows in Spain and featured a mix of reggaeton, dembow, trap and traditional Latin styles, with live orchestration by Los Sobrinos. Songs such as “Yo perreo sola” and a salsa‑infused rendition of “La mudanza” were highlighted, and the stage design included oversized jackets and bright brass sections.

Ticket prices ranged from 80 to 160 euros, and the event was promoted as a celebration of Latin identity and simple enjoyment. Media commentary noted the concert as a marker of reggaeton’s move from peripheral neighborhoods to a multibillion‑dollar global industry. The massive turnout undersced Bad Bunny’s status as one of the world’s top pop stars and reflected the genre’s broad cultural reach.
