Damaris Hernandez MercadoNew day) reports that Bad Bunny surpassed Metallica’s attendance of 18,749 people at his first concert performance of “Un verano sin ti” [A Summer without You]. “Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny promised to close the summer season in Puerto Rico and that it would be unforgettable; he kept his promise Thursday night and made history with a concert that was broadcast live on Telemundo and in 13 locations around the island.”
Urban exponent Bad Bunny sets new attendance record at Puerto Rico’s José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum [Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot] with 18,749 people at the first performance of his concert “Un verano sin ti” [A summer without you].
Puerto Rico Coliseum management confirmed [. . .] that the international star who made history on the island with his show broadcast live in 13 different locations on the island and through Telemundo, has surpassed the figure of the band Metallica with the attendance of 17,870 people at the band’s concert held on October 26, 2016. in the country of Hato Rey.
Benito Martínez Ocasio, the real name of the international star, performed for three and a half hours to a full house and with an arrangement that allowed him to gather more people in the Coliseum of Puerto Rico because all areas were open. The organization of the concert has helped to have more people near the stage, as it is small and creates an intimate atmosphere with the artist.
Producer Alejandro Pabón had told this media during the ticket sales for the three shows that the expected attendance for the show was 17,000 tickets, for a total of 51,000 tickets. With the new number of the first show, it is underlined that the expectations of the producers of the event will be exceeded.
As with other Bad Bunny shows, the audience enjoyed the concert from start to finish without leaving their seats. “Conejo Malo” was very talkative and in total cooperation with the public; he was observed without nervousness and in absolute control of everything that was happening.
The audience “lived” Bad Bunny’s concert like never before. He was attentive to his loyal fans, who lined up for three days in a row outside the Colosseum to buy tickets.
The performer of “Después de la playa” made the biggest “party” in the history of Puerto Rico since the live concert was projected in Placita de Santurce; Placido Acevedo Square, Aguadilla; Arts and Youth Pavilion, Barranquitas; La Guancha in Ponce; Arecibo Square; Poblado Boqueron Square; Ajíes and El Trambóliko in Mayagüez; Vega Baja Square; T-Mobile District; Arena Medal; Echo’s Sports Park; and Plaza de Fajardo. [Note: “Plaza” is usually the name given to a town’s central square.] All thirteen seats were full. Others were able to enjoy the show from thousands of homes via Telemundo.
