Held in a venue originally built to host NFL games, the concert echoed the symbolism of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, which many viewed as a political statement celebrating a united Americas.
However, Bad Bunny announced that his world tour will not include U.S. dates, expressing concern that his fans might be targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, as reported by i‑D magazine.
Speaking to the London audience primarily in Spanish — after requesting permission at the outset — he refrained from making explicit political statements, yet the tour has been broadly seen as a celebration of multiculturalism and the preservation of cultural identity.
This message clearly resonates with his fans.
“We are here, we are Latinos, we are proud,” says 19‑year‑old Grace from Dartford, who is half‑Honduran.
“My culture is being represented — even if it’s through a Puerto Rican — and it feels amazing,” she told BBC Newsbeat.
