No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí
No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí (transl. I Don’t Want To Leave Here) is the upcoming first concert residency by Puerto Rican rapper and singer-songwriter Bad Bunny in support of his sixth studio album Debí Tirar Más Fotos (transl. I Should Have Taken More Photos; 2025). It is set to begin on July 11, 2025 and conclude on September 14, 2025, comprising 30 shows exclusively in Puerto Rico at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, the largest entertainment venue on the island.[2][3] BackgroundOn December 26, 2024, Bad Bunny announced his sixth studio album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, with a release date for January 5, 2025, the day before Three Kings Day,[4] which is a national holiday in Puerto Rico. The album was immediately met with critical acclaim from fans and critics in less than a week for its themes, described as a "love letter" to Puerto Rico, blending traditional Puerto Rican folkloric music genres such as plena, jíbaro and salsa music with reggaeton and house music.[5] In the early morning of January 12, 2025, two Monobloc chairs, similar to the ones that appear on the cover of the album, appeared atop of the stairs to the entrance of the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico, hinting the possibility of Bad Bunny performing at the venue.[6] The following day, January 13, 2025, the singer released a video formally announcing his first residency to take place at the same venue where he has performed numerous times and broken ticket and attendance records.[7] That same night, Bad Bunny co-hosted The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he also performed "Voy a Llevarte Pa' PR" for the first time. The name of the residency means I do not want to leave here in English, taken from a direct lyric from the outro to Bad Bunny's song "El Apagón", off his fifth studio album Un Verano Sin Ti (transl. A Summer Without You; 2022). This lyric is a reference to the growing number Puerto Ricans relocating to the United States due to high-living costs on the island as well as gentrification and the loss of cultural identity, which are themes that have been heavily explored by the artist in both Un Verano Sin Ti and Debí Tirar Más Fotos. This residency will mark the first one being held at the venue and the first time a concert residency is held in Puerto Rico, slated to break a record held by Wisin & Yandel that was established after a 14-date run of their farewell tour in the month of December 2022, also at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum.[8] The venue's administrator, ASM Global, further confirmed that the residency had been in plans with Bad Bunny's production team for over a year and that the venue had cleared out additional dates to extend the residency throughout September 2025.[9] At the end of the day of the in-person pre-sale on January 15, 2025, nine additional dates were announced, extending the residency throughout September 14, 2025. Later that night, to celebrate the launch of the public pre-sale, Bad Bunny made a surprise pop-up performance at El Boricua, a local college bar in Río Piedras in the vicinity of the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus, where he performed songs from his sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, as well as salsa versions of various songs from his discography.[10][11] Venue The concert residency will take place at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, located nearby the Milla de Oro financial district of Hato Rey in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Named after Puerto Rican comedian José Miguel Agrelot, the venue is colloquially nicknamed El Choliseo (and the shortened El Choli), a portmanteau of the words coliseo (coliseum in Spanish) and Cholito, referring to Don Cholito, one of Agrelot's characters and his own adopted nickname.[12] It is the largest entertainment and sports venue in the island, with a capacity of 18,500 spectators, having hosted over one thousand events and over ten million visitors since opening in September 2004.[13] Bad Bunny has held many attendance and sales records at the venue. His 2019 Choliseo headliner debut broke an attendance record, previously held by Metallica nearly nine years prior, with 18,000 spectators in an arena stage concert setup.[14] He broke this record again in July 2022 with an all-time attendance record of 18,749 spectators, exceeding 249 spectators over the venue's capacity on the first night of his three-date performances.[15] In 2023, the venue hosted WWE SmackDown and Backlash 2023, back-to-back, where he made his Puerto Rico debut as a professional wrestler at both events. On October 12, 2023 the venue hosted its first ever listening party for the singer's fifth studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, released the following day.[16] The most recent event held by Bad Bunny at the Choliseo was the culmination of his Most Wanted Tour, June 7–9, 2024, which supported his fifth studio album. Ticket salesOn the day the residency was announced, details regarding ticket sales were made public online. The nine concert dates slated for the month of July 2025 were reserved for an exclusive in-person first come first serve distribution on January 15, 2025 throughout nine public locations around Puerto Rico for residents only.[17] VIP and hotel packages for concert dates for August through September 2025 were released online the same day, each one partnering with different hotels in high tourist areas such as Miramar, Condado and Isla Verde.[18] The general sale for the residency took place online on January 17, 2025, selling out over 400,000 tickets across all 30 dates in four hours.[19] The residency is projected to generate USD $100 million in ticket sales.[1] Shows
