San Juan.- Wearing attire alluding to elements of Puerto Rican culture, Bad Bunny fans were expectant this Saturday regarding the surprises that the first of two concerts in Puerto Rico, closing his international tour ‘Debí tirar más fotos’, might bring.
Thousands of people arrived at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium, in San Juan, adorned with a huge Puerto Rican flag, hours before the concert to enjoy the activities organized outside the venue, including salsa classes, a local craft market, and stalls with typical food and drinks.
An arch with the motto ‘We close at home‘, along with drawings of the famous chairs, a palm tree, and the Puerto Rican crested toad, welcomed fans who entered the venue dressed in ‘la pava’ (straw hat), the maga flower, or t-shirts related to the singer.
“He is a figure who has inspired all Puerto Ricans“, young Gabriel López told EFE about the singer, highlighting that Bad Bunny has taken Puerto Rican culture “to different parts of the world“.
In the same vein, 20-year-old Alejandra Sofía Pérez did not hide her excitement about the fact that people from other countries “can share the music and culture” of the island, which she described as “a beautiful place“.

“I have no words to express how happy I am to be Puerto Rican,” this fan of the one known as ‘Bad Bunny’ stated to EFE.
As every concert has room for surprises, one of the big unknowns is whether the show will include the iconic little Puerto Rican house this time, through which celebrities from all over the world have paraded.
Attendees are also wondering which artists will be invited to join Bad Bunny on stage or to sing ‘Lo que le pasó a Hawái‘ with him, which became one of the most emotional moments of the 31-concert residency held in Puerto Rico between July and September of 2025.

The venue has a capacity of around 30,000 people. As the tickets were quickly sold out, the mobilization of fans is massive and a challenge for the authorities.
The Municipality of San Juan has reinforced the security plan for both performances and the transportation plan, enabling dozens of free buses to connect a Tren Urbano station with the stadium.
According to an analysis prepared by Advantage Business Consulting, it is estimated that the two concerts will generate 24.4 million dollars in economic activity.
