Bad Bunny Opens Sold-Out Lima Run With Peruvian Tributes as Second Show Nears

Night two follows a debut that mixed Peruvian tributes with viral chatter.

Overview

  • The first of two concerts at Lima’s Estadio Nacional went ahead on Jan. 16 before a sold-out crowd after long queues, with strict entry checks requiring DNI for Peruvians, passports for foreigners, and digital tickets only.
  • Local nods highlighted the set, including a musician’s rendition of El Cóndor Pasa, on-screen shout-outs to Peruvian cuisine, and the artist donning the national soccer jersey.
  • A brief onstage moment drew online debate after some attendees believed he said “Chile,” while others insisted he said “Dile,” leaving the clip disputed.
  • The La Casita segment featured local influencers including Natalie Vértiz, Miranda Salaverry, Vanessa López and Gabriela Álava, prompting criticism on social media and a fan-led “Acho PR” moment.
  • The tour returns to Estadio Nacional tonight for the second sold-out date as Bad Bunny also promotes a Super Bowl halftime preview and his Premio Lo Nuestro Artist of the Year nomination, with voting open until Jan. 26.
