Bad Bunny Kicks Off Historic Residency in Puerto Rico: Every Song From First Show (Updating Live)

History was in the making on Friday night (July 11) as Bad Bunny launched his wildly anticipated No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí (meaning: I Don’t Want to Leave From Here) residency at the legendary Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot (a.k.a. El Choli) in San Juan. The event marks the beginning of his unprecedented 30-show series, making him the first artist to ever headline a residency of this scale at the iconic venue with capacity for 18,000 people.

The Puerto Rican superstar (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) is set to put on an electrifying show for a euphoric, sold-out audience on opening night, fusing reggaeton, Latin trap and Puerto Rican folk sounds with heartfelt moments honoring his culture — even featuring a quaint Boricua home onstage.

“Show them from the start where the gladiators were born,” reggaetón pioneer Ivy Queen wrote in Spanish on Bad Bunny’s IG post announcing the residency. “Proudly representing from the heart of the neighborhood, where we can vibe to the beat of drums, the bass of a car speaker, or even acapella — we bring the energy anywhere! Historic moment, my pollito stepping up with pride and showing off what it means to be Puerto Rican! That huge Pisces heart is coming through strong! Let’s gooooooo!”

The first three weeks of the residency (July 11–27) are restricted to Puerto Rico residents before opening up to tourists.

“[This residency] will position Puerto Rico as a premier entertainment destination,” Jorge L. Pérez, the general manager of Coliseo de Puerto Rico, previously told Billboard Español. “It will open the eyes of visitors who have never come to Puerto Rico. It will create awareness of Puerto Rico as an entertainment and leisure destination.” 

Planning to come to Bad Bunny’s residency? Here’s the ultimate travel guide with everything you need to know before you arrive.

Below, check out the full setlist from his opening show at El Choli, which we’ll be updating live throughout the night.
