Bad Bunny Closes World Tour With Defiant Final Night, Demands Esencia Project Be Scrapped

Bad Bunny played the second and definitive closing night of "Cerramos en Casa" at Estadio Hiram Bithorn, bringing the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour to an end after 57 shows across four continents (55 international dates plus the two San Juan finale shows) and roughly 3.1 million tickets sold. He opened by referencing the previous night — "Last night was intense, I'm not going to lie, there's a theory that the second night is always better, but it depends on you" — before turning the show into what Puerto Rican outlets called a "grito reivindicativo" (a rallying cry) against gentrification, corruption, and the island's colonial status. Over more than 30 songs backed by percussionist Julito Gastón, he again invoked the utilities crisis: "It's not normal that people lose electricity nightly, families without water for 120-130 days. Corruption isn't normal. We deserve more than this," and demanded the ~$2 billion Proyecto Esencia luxury development in Cabo Rojo "must be canceled." Surprise guests included salsa legend Víctor Manuelle for "Mala y peligrosa," reggaetón veterans Jowell & Randy for "Safaera" and other classics, RaiNao and Dei V for "PERFuMITO NUEVO" and "VeLDÁ" at the traveling "La Casita" stage set, and a surprise reunion with Rauw Alejandro for "Party" and "Qué Pasaría...". Puerto Rico received two exclusive songs never played elsewhere on the tour, "RLNDT" and "120." Bad Bunny closed with a message on unity, resilience, and gratitude to the crowd before ending the tour cycle in the city where it began.
