On Monday afternoon, Bad Bunny announced his first concert residency in native Puerto rico. Later this year, the Grammy-winning artist will perform 21 shows at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot , following the release of his sixth studio album Debí Tirar Más Fotos.
In a video posted to Instagram, the singer explained that for the time being, he plans on staying in his homeland. "For now, I am in Puerto Rico. I am at home and I am having a good time and if I am honest, I do not want to leave here," he stated, explaining the title of his residency that is 'No me quiero ir de aquí' (I do not want to leave here).
The residency is set to take place from July 11 to August 24 this summer at a venue referred to by Puerto Rican residents as "El Choli," and it is the biggest indoor entertainment arena on the island capable of holding more than 18,000 people.
The first nine shows are only open to residents of Puerto Rico with tickets available for in-person purchase starting on Wednesday. Tickets for the remaining shows will be available for online pre-sale starting Tuesday although there's a catch.
In a bid to ensure that real fans have a better chance at scoring tickets, Bad Bunny has set up a short quiz that buyers will have to take when signing up for the pre-sale of his residency. The quiz involves specific questions related to the artists music that only devoted fans would know.
Released last week, the title of Bad Bunny's latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos translates to “I should have taken more photos.” It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's top streaming albums chart and at No. 2 on the Billboard top 200 chart, making it the artist's seventh top 10-charting LP.
