Global superstar Bad Bunny has made the difficult decision to exclude US dates from his highly anticipated "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" World Tour. The three-time Grammy winner cited serious concerns about the safety and potential deportation of his fans amidst heightened ICE activity as the primary reason for this omission.
In an interview with i-D magazine, Bad Bunny explained that the decision wasn't driven by any animosity towards the US, where he's had successful concerts in the past. However, the increasing number of ICE raids and deportations, particularly under the previous administration, fueled significant apprehension within his team. The risk of fans facing potential threats at his concerts was a primary concern.
Instead of US shows, Bad Bunny's tour, in support of his sixth studio album, will begin in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on November 21st, and concludes July 22nd, 2026 in Brussels, Belgium. This strategy allows fans from the US, along with other international audiences, to attend shows in locations perceived as safer.
The decision highlights the complex intersection of entertainment and socio-political issues. While fans in the US will miss the opportunity to see Bad Bunny live, this strategic choice underscores the artist's commitment to the safety and well-being of his diverse fanbase.
