Bad Bunny made history on Friday, July 11, 2025, with the exhilarating launch of his “No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí” concert residency at San Juan’s Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot—familiarly known as El Choli. The debut show marked the beginning of a record-setting run of 30 consecutive performances, making him the first artist ever to headline a residency of this magnitude at the iconic 18,000-seat venue.
The show was more than entertainment—it was a cultural declaration. Bad Bunny’s performance interwove bomba, plena, jíbaro styles, and traditional instruments like the cuatro, all presented within profuse visual tributes to Puerto Rico’s identity. On-screen declarations such as “PR es un territorio no incorporado…” highlighted its colonial status and elevated the evening beyond music.
The event also sparked larger dialogue around tourism and gentrification on the island. Songs like “Lo Qué Le Pasó a Hawaii” and “Turista”, featured for their reflection of economic pressures on locals, accompanied platforms urging responsible tourism.
Running from July 11 through September 14, the residency draws over 600,000 attendees and is projected to contribute between $186 million and $377 million to Puerto Rico’s economy. For the first three weeks, ticket access was exclusive to island residents—Bad Bunny’s way of giving back to his community.
According to several sources, Bad Bunny’s first shows in Puerto Rico featured 44 songs, blending deep cuts, recent singles, and crowd-pleasers. Opening with surprise drop “Alambre Púa”, the setlist traversed his cultural homage tracks and past anthems through an unforgettable encore. Please note that the song order may vary depending on the show.
The residency is scheduled every Friday through Sunday through mid-September. Bad Bunny’s next global leg—the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour—is set to kick off on November 21, 2025, in Santo Domingo and conclude in Brussels by July 2026 .
The debut of “No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí” wasn’t just a concert—it was a cultural manifesto, a high‑energy showcase of Puerto Rican soul woven with social commentary. With 27 more shows ahead, expect more surprises, guest appearances, and a continued celebration of Puerto Rico under Bad Bunny’s unmistakable rhythm.
