It is the final of a succession of messages that the platform revealed between 13.54 on Thursday, May 8, when it introduced the primary two extra dates after being exhausted, in presale, all of the tickets for the 2 preliminary concert events, and the 19.31 on Friday, May 9, when it revealed the Soldout definitive.

In in the future, Bad Bunny went from having three dates in Spain to 12. It might be introduced on May 22 and 23 in Barcelona and May 30 and 31 and a couple of, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, June 14 and 15 in Madrid. And not in any situation. In the Spanish capital he’ll sing on the Riyadh Metropolitano stadium, which has the capability for about 70,000 spectators in live performance, whereas in Barcelona it would accomplish that within the Olympic stadium, wherein round 56,000 in live performance match.
