Bad Bunny breaks records: he sells out more than 600,000 tickets to his concerts in Spain.
Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known artistically as Bad Bunny, has made history in Spain. The Puerto Rican artist has sold out the more than 600,000 tickets on sale for the 12 concerts he will perform in our country. And all in less than 24 hours.
The concert promoter, Live Nation, announced the event with a social media post, stating that El Conejo Malo —as his fans also call him—has broken "all records." "This isn't a concert, it's history," she emphasized.
The highly anticipated DeBÍ SHOT MORE PHOTOS World Tour —which will visit other European countries such as Portugal, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom—will arrive in Spain on May 22, 2026, with a concert at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona, a performance that will be repeated the following day. The tour will then perform two nights in Lisbon and, afterward, will visit Madrid.
And he will, pay attention, set a new record. Bad Bunny has scheduled up to 10 concerts at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, which, with the permission of the Movistar Arena, has become the other major musical epicenter of the Spanish capital. Specifically, the concerts at the Atlético de Madrid stadium will be on May 30 and 31, and June 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, and 15, setting another unprecedented record.

It was five days ago when all the alarm bells went off. Rumors were growing on social media that Bad Bunny would embark on a world tour after his planned summer residency in his native Puerto Rico, and posts on the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys and Riyadh Air Metropolitano profiles seemed to indicate that the announcement of the Latin American artist's visit was just a matter of hours away.
In these snapshots, the entrances to both stadiums were visible, with two plastic chairs in front of them: one straight and one turned upside down. For some, the snapshots probably didn't convey anything. But for those more familiar with the situation, it was a reproduction of the cover of DeBÍ TIRAR MáS FOToS , his latest album, which has been acclaimed by fans and critics alike.
Two days later, the news was confirmed: Bad Bunny would be visiting Spain next spring with a concert on May 22 at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona and two more shows at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on May 30 and 31. And the frenzy broke loose, as evidenced by the pre-sale, which began yesterday, Thursday.

Many people, after registering with Live Nation and Ticketmaster, logged in early on various devices to try their luck. The servers crashed. Due to high demand, it wasn't long before a second date in Barcelona and four more in Madrid were announced. Many were left without a prize, and this Friday they had another chance to try their luck.
And as expected, history repeated itself today. The servers crashed again, Bad Bunny fans expressed their annoyances, outrage, and joy on social media, and the result is four more concerts announced at Atlético de Madrid's home, bringing the total to 12 dates in Spain. Curiously, despite the European tour kicking off in Barcelona, the Estadi Olímpic only had two shows, which, however, were also sold out .
In total, more than 600,000 tickets were sold for 12 nights of a world tour that promises to be historic and will tour Latin America with concerts in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil; Australia; Japan; and Europe with concerts in major stadiums in Spain, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Poland, Italy, and Belgium.
This summer he will perform in his native Puerto Rico in front of more than 400,000 spectators.Furthermore, those who couldn't wait for the expected announcement of this world tour and decided to buy one of the 400,000 tickets on sale for the 30 shows he'll be performing next summer in Puerto Rico—more than you might think—are in luck, as the artist himself has already announced that his concerts this summer and next spring will be completely different.
The last time El Conejo Malo visited our country was in the summer of 2019. He did so during the month of July with concerts in Madrid, Valencia, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, and Barcelona. Since then, he hasn't returned to Spain, not because he hadn't toured, but because he was focused on touring Latin America and the United States. Fortunately, in just over a year, he'll settle this outstanding debt.
