Bad Bunny’s Australia Debut Set Attendance Record in Sydney

The Latin superstar sold out two nights at Sydney’s ENGIE Stadium

Bad Bunny keeps on making history and setting records. This past weekend, the Puerto Rican superstar took the Debí Tirar Más Fotos world tour to Sydney, Australia, marking his official live debut in the country. It was a long time coming — Bad Bunny brought nearly 90,000 attendees to ENGIE Stadium with his two sold-out shows. The turnout set an attendance record, according to Live Nation Australia.

“Bad Bunny breaking records in Australia,” an Instagram post from the ticketing and promotion company wrote. In the post’s graphic, Live Nation Australia wrote that the massive crowd “mark[ed] the highest number of attendees ever at a concert at ENGIE Stadium in Sydney.”

In a review of the show, Rolling Stone Australia noted that “although only around 0.7 percent of the Australian population speaks Spanish, it’s heartening to see that most of the crowd tonight clearly do, with them regularly reacting to Bad Bunny’s Spanish language-only banter with eruptions of cheers and applause.”

Bad Bunny’s Australian attendance record is the latest win for the star as he continues to catapult his global reach. In February, the Latin superstar earned his first-ever solo Number One on the Billboard Hot 100. On Saturday, March 7, Bad Bunny will perform in Tokyo for the first time as part of Spotify’s Billions Club Live series. (The performance also marks his live debut in Asia.) He’ll then take a much-needed rest before kicking off the European leg of his Debí Tirar Más Fotos world tour in May.
