Bad Bunny began his "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOTOs" World Tour in Spain on Friday, selling more than 600,000 tickets [1].
The tour marks a significant expansion of the artist's reach in Europe. By bringing the visual and emotional concepts of his residency to Spain, the Puerto Rican singer and songwriter is testing the scale of his global demand outside the Americas [2, 4].
The tour consists of 12 concerts in total [1]. The schedule begins with two shows in Barcelona at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on May 22 and May 23, 2026 [3]. Following the Barcelona dates, the tour moves to Madrid for 10 performances at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano [1].
The Madrid dates are scheduled for May 30, May 31, June 2, June 3, June 6, June 7, June 10, June 11, June 14, and June 15, 2026 [1].
Fan anticipation for the events has led to extreme measures to secure proximity to the stage. "Llevamos acampando desde el miércoles," said Álex, a 19-year-old fan who camped since Wednesday to secure a first-row spot [5].
The series of shows promotes Bad Bunny's latest album, "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOTOs" [4]. The production aims to replicate the high-concept experience of his previous residency shows, utilizing the large capacities of the Spanish stadiums to accommodate the massive ticket sales [1, 4].
“more than 600,000 tickets sold”
The scale of this tour, specifically the decision to book 10 dates in a single city, indicates an unprecedented level of demand for Latin urban music in the Spanish market. By utilizing stadium-sized venues like the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Bad Bunny is shifting the traditional touring model for Spanish-language artists in Europe from a few key city stops to a residency-style takeover.
