Bad Bunny breaks attendance record in Madrid with 12‑concert residency

Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) concluded a 12‑concert residency — ten nights at Madrid’s Metropolitano stadium and two shows in Barcelona — that attracted more than 640,000 spectators, a historic attendance record for a Latin music act in Spain. The shows, promoted as the “Bí TiRÁ MÁS FOToS World Tour,” combined a traditional stage set‑up with the distinctive “La Casita” area, a format that will be taken up by Shakira later in the year.

The final night in Madrid featured a surprise appearance by Canary Islands singer‑songwriter Quevedo, who joined Bad Bunny on “Columbia” and later performed his hits including “Quédate,” creating a moment described as “the pinnacle of the concert.” Other celebrities and artists spotted in the audience or on‑stage included Aitana, Mora, Pedro Sampaio, Dei V and a host of influencers.

Beyond the stage, the production team created an immersive “Puerto Rico backstage” in the stadium, replicating island architecture and cultural symbols to give crew, musicians and family members a taste of the artist’s heritage. The residency was hailed as a milestone for Latin music in Europe and solidified Bad Bunny’s status as the reigning “king of Latin music” after recent Grammy wins.
