Bad Bunny

On July 4 and 5, 2026, Bad Bunny made his first-ever appearance in the Île-de-France region at Plenitude Arena, delivering two consecutive nights of reggaeton, salsa, and a massive party. Buoyed by his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, the Puerto Rican artist delivered a show lasting over two and a half hours, blending a tribute to his roots with a deep connection to the audience.

A highly anticipated premiere in Paris

From the Super Bowl in February to Plenitude Arena in July

After months of anticipation and a standout halftime performance at the Super Bowl in February 2026, Bad Bunny took the stage in Paris for the first time, three days after kicking off his French tour at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille on July 1. With Chuwi as the opening act, the artist performed two nights in a row at the Plenitude Arena as part of his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, a global tour that began in November 2025 and spans Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. From the very first minutes, the artist greeted his audience in Spanish before saying, in French, “I’ve wanted to come here for a long time. Thank you for making this possible.”

A quiet entrance, followed by an explosion of energy

Contrary to convention in this genre, Bad Bunny opted for a low-key entrance, on a stage dominated by a massive screen. The silence at the start of the show quickly gave way to a succession of songs driven by traditional Puerto Rican sounds, blending plena, salsa, cumbia, and reggaeton. Nuevayol gradually turned up the heat, before hits like “Tití Me Preguntó,” “Neverita,” “Si Veo a Tu Mamá,” “Me Porto Bonito,” “No Me Conoce,” “Yo Perreo Sola,” “Efecto,” and “Safaera” sent the crowd into a frenzy.

La Casita, the beating heart of the show

The highlight of the stage design is undoubtedly the Casita, a small traditional Puerto Rican house set up in the center of the hall, in the area usually reserved for VIP seating. This set, decorated in Caribbean colors, became the setting for the entire second half of the concert.

A lighter interlude featuring an impromptu debate between Bad Bunny and his mascot, Sapo Concho, on the very French debate over “pain au chocolat” versus “chocolatine” allowed the artist to forge an unexpected connection with his Parisian audience.

A heartfelt tribute to Puerto Rico

Throughout the two nights, Bad Bunny made a point of celebrating his roots. The stage production featuring pyrotechnics and lighting effects served as an artistic statement true to his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, released in January 2025, which spent three weeks at the top of the Billboard 200. The artist also broke new ground visually by handing out glow bracelets to the audience that doubled as small cameras, repeatedly creating stunning scenes as thousands of lights lit up simultaneously throughout the venue. True to form, with a red cup in hand, he also went out to meet the crowd, shaking hands and borrowing phones to take a few selfies.

Two evenings, the same enthusiasm

After performing about thirty songs and putting on a show that lasted nearly two and a half hours, the July 4th evening came to a close with “DTMF” and then “EoO,” two standout tracks from the artist’s latest album, to a standing ovation that reaffirmed the artist’s status as a global phenomenon.
