Dates, Surprise Guests, Best Moments

Bad Bunny kicked off the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour by honoring the Dominican Republic’s rich music traditions. During the second night in Santo Domingo, the star invited collaborator Romeo Santos, who hails from the country, to perform a bachata version of “Bokete.” During his No Me Quiero Ir de Aqui residency, Bad Bunny would perform the song solo and lean into its low-fi vibe. But the performance in the D.R. transformed the sad song into a dance-worthy moment. Bad Bunny even switched up the spoken-word bridge. “Romeo, I’ve fallen in love 515 times, and with that devil it was 516. I don’t know what else to do,” he said in Spanish. Romeo Santos suggested going for a Dominican girl: “The next time you fall in love it should be with a cibaeña,” he said. —M.G.

Bad Bunny’s hit with Jhayco, “Dakiti,” has been a setlist staple for both the No Me Quiero Ir de Aqui Puerto Rican residency and Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour. So it was extra special when Jhayco joined Benito onstage in Costa Rica to perform that track along with “No Me Conoce,” “Tarot,” and “Como Se Siente.” It’s the second time the pair rocked the stage together this year. During Benito’s residency, Jhayco sent his fellow Puerto Ricans into a frenzy when he came out on the second night of the historic run. —M.G.

Bad Bunny knew he had to make his return to Mexico City, and the start of an eight-night run at GNP Seguros Stadium, extra special. On the second night, he did just that with one hell of a special guest: Feid. The Colombian star’s appearance was announced with a teleprompter and recording marking the unique event: “The next song is an exclusive… it will not be repeated in another city or at another function,” a voice read in Spanish. Immediately, the concert turned into a full-on perreo party, complete with strobe lights in Feid’s signature lime green, as the two dove into their 2023 collab “Perro Negro” and a couple of Feid’s hits, “Classy 101” and “Chorrito Pa Las Animas.” —M.G.

In 2018, Bad Bunny was a star on the rise, wowing the world with his left-of-center sound and unexpected fashion aesthetic. He’d just released his debut album X100Pre, and the fourth single was “Caro,” a flex about high living and luxury. The video turned heads, with a little girl playing the role of Bad Bunny and going about her day, nodding at some of the gender flips he’d take on in videos like “Yo Perreo Sola.” The song has been a fan favorite, and crowds were thrilled when Benito relived those early glory days by playing it as his surprise song in Costa Rica. —J.L.

Fans have been patiently waiting for Bad Bunny to invite the regional Mexican band Grupo Frontera onstage again to sing their wonderful cumbia-reggaeton fusion “Un x100to.” (They’ve only performed it live at Coachella in 2023). As soon as the first guitar strums blasted out, the audience at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros absolutely lost it, screaming along to every word of the heartbreak anthem at the top of their lungs. It was an exciting night that even Grupo Frontera couldn’t believe. “Thank you for the invitation and to the razita who lived it with us!” the band wrote in an Instagram post the next day, shouting out the Mexican people in the audience. —M.G.

La Casita isn’t just part of the set design at Bad Bunny concerts; it’s the official V.I.P. area. Designed to look like a classic Puerto Rican house, complete with an outdoor porch, the little house was the place to be seen during the star’s Puerto Rican residency, and it’s been a fixture during his tour. Some of the guests so far have included Mexican actor Diego Boneta, Mexican actress Yalitza Aparicio, and Mexican American band Fuerza Regida. —J.L.

Julieta Venegas has long been the godmother of dreamy indie sounds in Latin music, and Bad Bunny confirmed he was a fan when he sang by her side on the Tainy-architected track “Lo Siento BB:/.” The song was a melancholy nod to the early aughts that left us wanting even more, so fans in Mexico City were completely delighted when a mini-reunion happened and Bad Bunny tapped her to perform during his eight-night run. The ethereal singer appeared behind a piano, playing celestial chords and showing the gentle voice she’s known for. —J.L.

Bad Bunny wrapped his eight-night stint in Mexico City with a bang when he brought out none other than J Balvin, ending a long feud that erupted after the pair made their collab album Oasis. The Colombian hitmaker took to the stage to sing “La Canción,” leading the crowd to erupt into a collective roar. The audience continued to reach higher decibels as the two stars hugged and addressed the past tension. “I want to tell you that I admire you, that I love you and your family… The past is the past, but we’re men that have matured. We forgive each other always,” Balvin said. “If I did something wrong, I apologize. I apologized a long time ago — people don’t know but we had a conversation several weeks ago,” Bad Bunny said in response. “But we were waiting for the perfect moment to share the stage, and it’s good that it was here in Mexico.” —M.G.
