Bad Bunny Excludes U.S. Mainland From Tour, Citing ICE Raid Fears

He says potential immigration enforcement at venues could put Latino concertgoers at risk.

Overview

  • In a newly published i‑D interview, the Puerto Rican star confirms he will skip the U.S. mainland on his current world tour because he worries ICE could show up at his concerts.
  • His run of roughly 30 stadium shows in San Juan concludes in mid‑September, with the international leg set to begin in late 2025 and no U.S. mainland dates included.
  • Coverage notes intensified enforcement this year, citing New York Times reporting of more than 60,000 ICE arrests since January 2025.
  • Bad Bunny has recently criticized the agency publicly, sharing video of an ICE operation in Carolina, Puerto Rico, and denouncing the tactics on social media.
  • Reports describe the move as an expression of solidarity with at‑risk fans and a choice that forgoes substantial ticket revenue, with Puerto Rico and overseas stops emphasized instead.
