The stadium doors open, thousands of people rush to enter the stadium to get the best view of the “World’s Hottest Artist” Bad Bunny. This is the last stage of his stadium tour and, as he has in every country he’s visited, there will be a new surprise artist performing. Everybody is asking themselves the same question: What will Bad Bunny pull off this time?

Bad Bunny’s “Worlds Hottest Tour” came to the Atanasio Girardot stadium in Medellín November 18-19 featuring special guest artists with more than forty thousand people in attendance.

Initially, there was only one date available but due to the high demand, a second date was released. Both were sold out during the presale in January. The overall organization of the event was hosted by Diomar Garcia Eventos. The main sponsor of the event was Aguardiente Antioqueño, inside the stadium it was the only liquor that you could buy.

The tracklist of the concert was divided into three genres, almost as if they were separated by moods which Benito wanted the fans to experience throughout the whole concert. “Él Conejo Malo” started his setlist with his most popular and energetic songs from his new album. At ten thirty on the dot, Bad Bunny opened his concert singing “Moscow Mule” “Me Porto Bonito” and “Efecto”

“When he first came out, it was pretty exciting for everyone, and seeing the whole stadium with glowing bracelets was something really cool to see,”  Senior Andres Lopera said.

The Fireworks show distinguished the concert. Specific moments in songs were chosen for fireworks to light up the sky. The first pyrotechnics lit up the night when Bad Bunny was singing Efecto

Despite the rainy weather, hundreds of fans started lining up early in the morning. The doors of the stadium opened at 4:00 PM, the ambiance was exciting and fans were really hyped to see Benito. One of Bad Bunny’s producers and DJs, Agudelo888, started playing at nine. 

In the middle of the setlist, Bad Bunny focused on his hits songs from the old days. These songs are from the Trap genre and include more explicit language, including “Dos Mil 16” “Diles” and “No Te Hagas”

For the Trap genre, a small firework show blasted at the end of the highly anticipated hit Chambea and throughout the whole song the light bracelets would go off and light up the stadium in dark and red colors.

The overall organization of the event felt smooth. Doors opened exactly at four o’clock and everything scheduled was on time with little to no organization errors. When entering the stadium, each ticket holder was given a wristband that lit up different colors according to the song and verse that Bad Bunny was singing.

The opening act, DJ Agudelo888’s sound was almost close to perfect, with popular reggaeton mixes that riled up the crowd.

Throughout the concert, there were two guest artists that sang some of their own songs. Mora appeared in the first half of the concert, and J Alvarez appeared in the second half. The Puerto Rican artist Mora would sing Bad Bunny’s Una Vez and end with La Inocente. J Alvarez’s set was much longer as he would sing during Bad Bunny’s fifteen-minute break.

Beach-like elements characterized this concert throughout the first leg of the tour in the US. A flying island, shark costumes, among other elements were greatly anticipated. In the last half of the concert, Bad Bunny hopped on the flying island that soared over the bleachers and floor. “La Cancion’‘ played while he flew through the air and greeted his fans. The set of the event mimicked a big beach with a lawn chair in the middle. When Bad Bunny entered the stage he had a cooler in one hand and a microphone in the other.

“In all of the concerts that I have gone to, I have never seen an artist so up close as I saw Benito when he was flying by through in the palm tree,” Lopera, said.

At the end of the concert when Bad Bunny was singing Despues De La Playa, an entourage of pyrotechnics soared into the sky for approximately three consecutive minutes. The lighting of the concert also featured laser beams which lit up the stadium, and the sound/audio had no visible errors or static when used. 

Bad Bunny wore a beige jacket and pants, while his dancers had on colorful tops and trousers. Many of the dances that the backup dancers would perform would be alternate styles of perreo and choque.

In his repertoire, which lasted more than two hours, the artist included songs from previous albums. In total there were about 37 songs throughout the show.

Ticket prices ranged from $24 million COP to be with ten of your friends next to the stage, to $76 thousand COP for the farthest part of the stadium in the top row. Were they worth it? If you are a super fan of Bad Bunny, any seat that you could get would be more than worth it, as the performance and vibrations in the concert are something unlike another. Bad Bunny made sure to interact with the people in the front row, and for many, that is the only reason needed to spend millions on front-row seats.     

Nothing excelled the artist’s closure of the concert, with ‘Después de la playa’ playing, the stage became a carnival and the sky was filled with a shower of lights that concluded the incredible concert.
