Bad Bunny Launches Historic 10-Night Madrid Residency with Myke Towers, Bringing Puerto Rico to 60,000 Fans
The Puerto Rican superstar opened his unprecedented 10-date run at Madrid's Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Saturday, transforming the stadium into a piece of Puerto Rico for over 60,000 fans and marking his first performance in the city since 2018.
Bad Bunny launched his historic 10-night residency at Madrid's Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Saturday, May 30, delivering a nearly three-hour spectacle that blended his latest album 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' with career-defining hits. The sold-out show drew over 60,000 fans, some of whom had camped outside the stadium since the previous day.
A long-awaited return
Returning to Madrid for the first time since his 2018 concert at the WiZink Center, Bad Bunny expressed deep gratitude to the crowd. The artist reflected on his absence from Spain, telling the audience he had forgotten how many beautiful people were in Madrid and promising to make the night worthwhile.
It feels good to be here in Madrid. Tonight, we're going to sing a lot of songs we haven't sung before. I hope you're ready.
The setlist spanned 33 songs, including 'La Mudanza,' 'Callaíta,' 'Turista,' 'Tití Me Preguntó,' 'Me Porto Bonito,' 'Yonaguni,' and 'Dákiti,' with the crowd singing along to practically every chorus.
A piece of Puerto Rico in Spain
The entire production served as a constant homage to Bad Bunny's homeland. The stage featured 'La Casita,' a nearly 13-meter-wide secondary stage designed as an exact replica of a traditional Puerto Rican countryside house. During this segment, the artist interacted with fans in the front rows, chatting, listening to stories, and taking photos. Five fans were selected to join him after repeating the phrase 'Acho, PR es otra cosa' ('Puerto Rico is something else').
Who wants to come with me to PR?
Cultural references permeated the show, from the endemic Puerto Rican 'sapo concho' frog imagery to the guitarist wearing a 'pava,' a traditional Puerto Rican hat, while performing Paco de Lucía's 'Entre dos aguas.'
Surprise guest Myke Towers
The night's exclusive song, a tradition where Bad Bunny performs a unique track at each tour stop, was 'Adivino,' featuring fellow Puerto Rican artist Myke Towers. Towers' appearance caused a sensation, and he extended his stay on stage to perform five of his own hits: 'La playa,' 'Diosa,' 'Si se da,' 'Lala,' and 'La falda.'

Celebrity sightings and the scene outside
'La Casita' also welcomed celebrity guests including actresses Ester Expósito, Ana de Armas, and María León, along with Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni and footballers Isi Palazón and Sergio Camello. Outside the stadium, hundreds of fans who could not secure tickets—some priced over 100 euros—created their own parallel concert in the parking lot, highlighting the intense demand and 'FOMO' surrounding the event.
The residency continues
The first of 10 concerts running until June 15, this show sets the stage for what could be one of the most significant musical residencies in Madrid's history. With nine more nights to go, speculation is already mounting about future surprise guests, with names like Rosalía and Quevedo circulating on social media.
