Bad Bunny Leaves US Off World Tour Out of ICE Raid Concerns
The Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour will begin on November 21
Bad Bunny has revealed why there are no US dates on his upcoming Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour. The Puerto Rican superstar told i-D Magazine he was afraid of ICE raids happening at his concerts, referring to the Trump administration's recent flurry of ICE raids that have led to hundreds of thousands of deportations.
What he said:
“There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the US, and none of them were out of hate—I’ve performed there many times.”
“People from the US could come [to Puerto Rico] to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world. But there was the issue of—like, fucking ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”
The tour:
Bad Bunny will play 56 shows between November 21 and July 22, 2026, hitting Australia, South America, Latin America, and Europe.
The tour will include several residencies. He will perform 10 shows in Madrid, eight shows in Mexico City, and three in Santiago, Buenos Aires, and Medellín.
