Bad Bunny used a specially designed performance space called “La Casita” to celebrate Puerto Rican cultural identity during recent global appearances [1, 2].
The installation transforms everyday Puerto Rican architecture into a global icon, elevating the island's cultural heritage to some of the world's largest sporting and musical stages.
The set piece first appeared during the Debí tirar más fotos World Tour, which began in November 2025 [4]. Since its debut, the structure has been installed at various high-profile venues, including the Riyadh Air Metropolitano de Madrid stadium and the Super Bowl halftime stage in Las Vegas [1, 3].
During Super Bowl LX in February 2026, the artist utilized the structure for a performance lasting 13 minutes [2]. The specific version of the “casita” used for the halftime show was created by two designers [5].
Beyond the Super Bowl, the artist has continued to center his work on his roots. This commitment to his heritage is further evidenced by his Puerto Rico residency, which consisted of 31 dates [6].
Reports said the purpose of the installation is to showcase Puerto Rican pride [1, 2]. By bringing a representation of a traditional home to stadiums in Madrid and Las Vegas, the artist aims to create a visual homage to the daily lives, and identity, of the Puerto Rican people [4].
“The installation transforms everyday Puerto Rican architecture into a global icon.”
The use of 'La Casita' represents a shift in stadium production where set design functions as a political and cultural statement. By integrating specific architectural markers of Puerto Rican domestic life into the Super Bowl and international tours, Bad Bunny leverages his global platform to assert national identity and visibility for the island on a scale typically reserved for commercial spectacle.
