The Best Moments From Bad Bunny’s Global Tour

Bad Bunny performed his first-ever show in Australia at Sydney’s ENGIE Stadium — and made history. While he didn’t bring out any special guests, as has become customary for the star, the show was still a spectacle. Over two sold-out nights, Benito brought in nearly 90,000 attendees. Live Nation Australia confirmed in an Instagram post that the superstar’s turnout “mark[ed] the highest number of attendees at a concert ever at ENGIE Stadium.” —M.G.

Salsa legend Willie Colón died Saturday morning at the age of 75. That night, Bad Bunny paid tribute to Colón while performing in São Paulo, Brazil. “This music is very special. It’s the influence of all of us who grew up listening to salsa in the Caribbean. Today, one of the great legends who contributed to this beautiful genre passed away,” Benito said before diving into his song “NUEVAYoL,” which name-checks the salsa singer. “From me and Los Sobrinos, we wish Willie Colón rests in peace,” he said, referencing his own live band. “Much strength to his family.”

RaiNao surprised the crowd in São Paulo, Brazil when she joined Bad Bunny onstage to sing their collaboration “Perfumito Nuevo.” The Puerto Rican singer’s dazzling performance marked her debut on the DTMF world tour. Previously, RaiNao joined Benito throughout his No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency, offering sensual dance moves to match the song’s suggestive lyrics. But this time, fans noted that both Bad Bunny and RaiNao pared back the flirtatious energy. —M.G

Bad Bunny’s Debi Tirar Mas Fotos world tour has practically turned into its own Eras Tour. He sent Argentina back to his early Latin trap days when Cazzu surprised her hometown crowd. After Duki and Khea had already joined Bad Bunny to sing the 2017 “Loca” remix, the Argentinian singer emerged onstage in a striking neon green dress to sing her verse — and the Estadio Monumental crowd lost it. The throwback track was doubly nostalgic given Bad Bunny and Cazzu’s brief romance back in the day. —M.G.

At his final Argentina show, Bad Bunny delivered a Boricua takeover with the appearance of frequent collaborator Eladio Carrión. The pair cycled through their explosive Latin trap cuts, including 2023’s “Thunder y Lightning” and “Coco Chanel” and 2019’s “Kemba Walker.” It’s not the first time Carrión joined Benito onstage; the Puerto Rican star came out for the No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency last summer. —M.G.

Bad Bunny brought it all the way back to 2017 when he invited none other than Karol G to sing their throwback collaboration “Ahora Me Llama” for his final night in Colombia. The two superstars haven’t shared the stage in years as they’ve continued to dominate the Latin music world, making the performance that much more special. After the pair ripped through the nostalgic track, Benito shared his adoration for Karol, calling her “a representative of our culture and our music” and a “source of pride for Colombia.” Afterwards, the pair shared an embrace before Karol burst into an energetic rendition of her Tropicoqueta cuts “Latina Foreva” and “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido.” —M.G.

The second night of the Debi Tirar Mas Foto world tour stop in Colombia featured a full-on takeover by Arcángel. The fellow Puerto Rican titan joined Bad Bunny to blast through their 2017 collab “Me Acostumbré” — and circled through 11 other tracks, including a mix of more joint hits like “La Jumpa” and “Tú No Vive Así.” Arcángel had previously joined Bad Bunny onstage for the No Me Quiero Ir de Aqui residency in their archipelago but the pair went all out bringing their Borican pride to Medellín. —M.G.

Bad Bunny went all out in Colombia, kicking things off by inviting Bomba Estéreo lead singer Li Saumet to sing their Un Verano Sin Ti collab “Ojitos Lindos.” The tropic-tinged track has been a setlist staple for Benito, but he hasn’t performed it with the Bogotá-bred band in years. That first night in Medellín was extra special as it marks the first time Bad Bunny and Bomba Estéreo have performed the song live in Colombia. Saumet thanked Bad Bunny “ for sharing your art and pride of your roots with the world, for making me part of this magical night celebrating love, union and dance,” in an Instagram post the next day. —M.G.

Bad Bunny made his second night in Peru extra special when he brought out Puerto Rican legend Ñengo Flow. The rapper has joined Bad Bunny on the stage before during Benito’s residency at El Choli to sing hit song “Safaera.” But this time, along with the party anthem, the pair also whipped out “Que Malo,” a deep-cut from Bad Bunny’s 2020 masterpiece YHLQMDLG. “Where are the ones who do what they feel like?” Bad Bunny asked the crowd in Spanish before diving into a rowdy rendition of the track. Ñengo Flow closed his appearance with his 2012 track “Cuando Me Dirá.”

Jowell & Randy joined Bad Bunny in Santiago, Chile to sing their massive hit “Safaera,” marking the third time they’ve played with him in the past year. The fellow Boricuas also came out to celebrate DTMF on two separate nights of the No Me Quiero Ir De Aqui residency in Puerto Rico, but each time, they bring the kind of infectious, rambunctious energy that the song demands. —M.G.

Back in 2017, Becky G tapped the then-rising star Bad Bunny to collaborate on her single “Mayores,” which became a hit. Santiago, Chile was treated to a special performance of “Mayores” when the Mexican singer joined Benito onstage this past weekend. Becky put her Chicana pride on full display, sporting a cropped top in the Mexican flag colors. “Benito, I love you. I’m super proud of you. What an honor to be a guest on this incredible tour that’s making history,” Becky G told Bad Bunny before she went into a solo performance of her 2022 track “Mamii.” —M.G.

For the first show of his three-night performance in Santiago, Chile, Bad Bunny paid homage to the country’s famed folk singer Victor Jara. The moment came at the beginning of the show when one of the backing members from Bad Bunny’s band played a beautiful instrumental version of Jara’s 1971 song “El Derecho de Vivir en Paz” on a mandolin. As soon as the song’s delicate chords rang out in Estadio Nacional, the packed stadium cheered and shouted out the song’s powerful lyrics. —M.G.

Bad Bunny wrapped his eight-night stint in Mexico City with a bang when he brought out none other than J Balvin, ending a long feud that erupted after the pair made their collab album Oasis. The Colombian hitmaker took to the stage to sing “La Canción,” leading the crowd to erupt into a collective roar. The audience continued to reach higher decibels as the two stars hugged and addressed the past tension. “I want to tell you that I admire you, that I love you and your family… The past is the past, but we’re men that have matured. We forgive each other always,” Balvin said. “If I did something wrong, I apologize. I apologized a long time ago — people don’t know but we had a conversation several weeks ago,” Bad Bunny said in response. “But we were waiting for the perfect moment to share the stage, and it’s good that it was here in Mexico.” —M.G.

Julieta Venegas has long been the godmother of dreamy indie sounds in Latin music, and Bad Bunny confirmed he was a fan when he sang by her side on the Tainy-architected track “Lo Siento BB:/.” The song was a melancholy nod to the early aughts that left us wanting even more, so fans in Mexico City were completely delighted when a mini-reunion happened and Bad Bunny tapped her to perform during his eight-night run. The ethereal singer appeared behind a piano, playing celestial chords and showing the gentle voice she’s known for. —J.L.

La Casita isn’t just part of the set design at Bad Bunny concerts; it’s the official V.I.P. area. Designed to look like a classic Puerto Rican house, complete with an outdoor porch, the little house was the place to be seen during the star’s Puerto Rican residency, and it’s been a fixture during his tour. Some of the guests so far have included Mexican actor Diego Boneta, Mexican actress Yalitza Aparicio, and Mexican American band Fuerza Regida. —J.L.

Fans have been patiently waiting for Bad Bunny to invite the regional Mexican band Grupo Frontera onstage again to sing their wonderful cumbia-reggaeton fusion “Un x100to.” (They’ve only performed it live at Coachella in 2023). As soon as the first guitar strums blasted out, the audience at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros absolutely lost it, screaming along to every word of the heartbreak anthem at the top of their lungs. It was an exciting night that even Grupo Frontera couldn’t believe. “Thank you for the invitation and to the razita who lived it with us!” the band wrote in an Instagram post the next day, shouting out the Mexican people in the audience. —M.G.

In 2018, Bad Bunny was a star on the rise, wowing the world with his left-of-center sound and unexpected fashion aesthetic. He’d just released his debut album X100Pre, and the fourth single was “Caro,” a flex about high living and luxury. The video turned heads, with a little girl playing the role of Bad Bunny and going about her day, nodding at some of the gender flips he’d take on in videos like “Yo Perreo Sola.” The song has been a fan favorite, and crowds were thrilled when Benito relived those early glory days by playing it as his surprise song in Costa Rica. —Julyssa Lopez

Bad Bunny knew he had to make his return to Mexico City, and the start of an eight-night run at GNP Seguros Stadium, extra special. On the second night, he did just that with one hell of a special guest: Feid. The Colombian star’s appearance was announced with a teleprompter and recording marking the unique event: “The next song is an exclusive… it will not be repeated in another city or at another function,” a voice read in Spanish. Immediately, the concert turned into a full-on perreo party, complete with strobe lights in Feid’s signature lime green, as the two dove into their 2023 collab “Perro Negro” and a couple of Feid’s hits, “Classy 101” and “Chorrito Pa Las Animas.” —M.G.

Bad Bunny’s hit with Jhayco, “Dakiti,” has been a setlist staple for both the No Me Quiero Ir de Aqui Puerto Rican residency and Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour. So it was extra special when Jhayco joined Benito onstage in Costa Rica to perform that track along with “No Me Conoce,” “Tarot,” and “Como Se Siente.” It’s the second time the pair rocked the stage together this year. During Benito’s residency, Jhayco sent his fellow Puerto Ricans into a frenzy when he came out on the second night of the historic run. —M.G.

Bad Bunny kicked off the Debí Tirar Más Fotos world tour by honoring the Dominican Republic’s rich music traditions. During the second night in Santo Domingo, the star invited collaborator Romeo Santos, who hails from the country, to perform a bachata version of “Bokete.” During his No Me Quiero Ir de Aqui residency, Bad Bunny would perform the song solo and lean into its low-fi vibe. But the performance in the D.R. transformed the sad song into a dance-worthy moment. Bad Bunny even switched up the spoken-word bridge. “Romeo, I’ve fallen in love 515 times, and with that devil it was 516. I don’t know what else to do,” he said in Spanish. Romeo Santos suggested going for a Dominican girl: “The next time you fall in love it should be with a cibaeña,” he said. —Maya Georgi
