Benito is already in Barcelona. The Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny was spotted on Wednesday going in and out of his hotel in the city centre, sending his fans into a frenzy after they managed to track him down thanks to a video that went viral on social media. “Benito! Look at him! Look at him!” the young fans gathered could be heard shouting by the van taking him back to the hotel.
The artist’s presence confirms what his followers have been waiting for for weeks: this Friday 22 May the first Spanish stop on his Debí tirar más fotos world tour kicks off at the Estadi Olímpic Lluis Companys, the tour with which he is presenting his sixth studio album. On Saturday 23 there will be a second night at the same venue before the convoy heads to Lisbon and, from there, to Madrid.
In the capital, Bad Bunny has 10 dates booked at the Civitas Metropolitano between 30 May and 15 June, making him the artist to have played the most consecutive nights at the stadium. In all, more than 600,000 tickets have been sold in Spain.
How much has it cost to see him?
The cheapest tickets started at 73.30 euros plus fees for the furthest seats in the stands, while standing or 'gold circle' spots were around 143 euros before charges.
At the other end of the scale, the most exclusive VIP package, which included access to a private lounge, came in well over 500 euros plus fees. During the first hours of the presale, official channels LiveNation and Ticketmaster crashed, and the general sale cleared out the first price categories within hours.
Bad Bunny’s visit also coincides with the launch this Thursday of his clothing line Benito Antonio for Zara, the same Spanish brand that dressed him for the half-time show at the last Super Bowl.
Pope Leo XIV will also draw crowds to Madrid
The tour’s economic impact will be felt particularly in Madrid during the first week of June, when the concerts overlap with the visit by Pope Leo XIV. The Madrid Hotel Business Association is forecasting an average occupancy rate of 81.9% in hotels across the region between 5 and 9 June, peaking at 87% on Saturday 6. Most visitors are expected to come from abroad: 58.5% compared with 41.5% domestic, with the main markets being the United States, France and the United Kingdom.
