Bad Bunny is preparing to launch his next global stadium tour—but he’s urging fans not to expect a Taylor Swift-style retrospective. In a new interview with Variety, the Puerto Rican star—born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—emphasized that the tour will focus on his latest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, rather than offering a career-spanning showcase.
“First of all, I’m not Taylor Swift,” he said. “I want to clarify now so that they don’t get so excited: It’s not going to be organized that way. It’s still very much a tour for DeBÍ, with some older songs sprinkled in.”
Produced by Live Nation, the tour kicks off November 21 in the Dominican Republic. He will perform in Costa Rica and Mexico before continuing in January through Colombia and other Latin American countries. In late February, he will head to Brazil and Australia for the first time, followed by a debut in Japan. From May to July, he’ll visit European cities including Madrid, Lisbon, Berlin, and Paris.
Ahead of the global run, Bad Bunny will also headline a 30-date residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot this summer. The concerts are expected to draw approximately 250,000 fans to his home island.
Even as he downplays expectations, demand tells a different story. According to figures shared with Billboard by Live Nation, the tour has already sold 2.6 million tickets and is on track to generate hundreds of millions in revenue. He will also become the first Spanish-language artist to perform stadium shows in seven of the countries on his itinerary.
The record-breaking numbers confirm Bad Bunny’s continued rise as a global force—on his own terms.
