In a remarkable head-turner and a conversational lightning rod across the music world, Bad Bunny has indicated that the United States won’t be a stop on his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour. And the reggaeton superstar says there’s a strong reason behind that decision. In a recent cover story interview with Variety, the Puerto Rican global icon said including U.S. dates simply feels “unnecessary” to him at this point in his career. In an America where stadiums are begging for a show, Bad Bunny takes an unconventional and fearlessly purpose-driven route, a road born of pride and a personal mission.
This time around, Bad Bunny will not opt for the traditional coast-to-coast run. He will ground his energy in San Juan and perform an unparalleled 30 shows at the Coliseo do Puerto Rico for his upcoming residency, No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí. Its title, “I Don’t Want to Leave Here,” tells the whole story. This is not just a maker of music but of statements. For Bad Bunny, going local isn’t limiting his radius but tightening it.

“We record almost all his shows,” said Noah Assad. “But we’ve made it a point to not publish concert footage content that stays up and lives there forever.” The emphasis is on in-the-moment feeling rather than digital instant replays. A concert film is being mooted at some point, but nothing’s set in stone, a further indication that this tour isn’t about mass redemption. It’s a question of presence, encounter, and Puerto Rico.
Some American fans might be disappointed, but Bad Bunny’s message is plain. He doesn’t need a U.S. tour to demonstrate his global might. With sold-out residencies, category-defying artistry, and a fiercely devoted fan base, he is rewriting the rules of what a world tour is and where it starts. Running from July 11 to Sept. 14, No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí is no mere residency. It’s a love letter to Puerto Rico. And if you want to see Bad Bunny in person, you’ll have to join him where the heart is.
