Bad Bunny World Tour Breaks Major Touring Records

The records just keep coming for Bad Bunny. 

The Puerto Rican superstar's world tour has broken several notable records, according to Billboard Boxscore (as per Rolling Stone).

Bad Bunny's tour, which took him to South America, Australia, Asia, and Europe, took his total gross touring revenue beyond the $1 billion mark, making him the first Latin artist to reach this point. Fewer than 25 acts have achieved this feat, and Bad Bunny is the first one who doesn't perform in English. 

In addition to this fear, Bad Bunny's trek has become the highest-grossing and best-selling tour in history to skip the US. 

The 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' world tour is now also Bad Bunny’s biggest tour ever. 

So far, it has grossed $360 million and sold 2.4 million tickets, including a 10-gig residency in Madrid, and those figures surpass the success of his 2022 outing, ‘World’s Hottest Tour,’, which brought him $314.4 million in gross sales and 1.9 million tickets.

To give you an idea of how massive those figures are, Billboard reveals that Bad Bunny has grossed almost twice as much as Take That, whose US-skipping tour in 2011 yielded $185.2 million. The Rolling Stones’ 2014 tour of Asia, Europe, and Oceania, meanwhile, grossed $165.2 million.

Bad Bunny famously chose to skip the US on his world tour due to his worries about President Donald Trump's administration as well as ICE's actions in the country. 

“I’ve enjoyed connecting with Latinos who have been living in the US, but specifically, for a residency here in Puerto Rico, when we are an incorporated territory of the US… People from the US could come here to see the show,” he said last year. 

“Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world… But there was the issue of — like, fucking ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”

Bad Bunny, however, did travel to the US earlier this year, playing the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
