BUENOS AIRES, February 12, 2026 — Bad Bunny touched down in Buenos Aires early Tuesday morning, kicking off his highly anticipated arrival ahead of three sold-out shows at River Plate Stadium this week. The global superstar, fresh off a history-making Super Bowl halftime performance, is bringing his “I Should Have Taken More Photos World Tour” to Argentina, and fans are already buzzing.
A Whirlwind Arrival: From the Super Bowl to Buenos Aires
The Puerto Rican artist landed at 4:45 a.m. Tuesday, setting the stage for a three-night run at River Plate Stadium beginning February 13th.
- Bad Bunny’s arrival marks his fourth visit to Argentina as a performer.
- He enjoyed a private dinner at NESS, a celebrated wood-fired restaurant in Buenos Aires.
- The “I Should Have Taken More Photos World Tour” includes 55 cities globally.
- Stadium doors open at 4 p.m. with the show expected to begin at 9 p.m.
Before preparing for the shows, Bad Bunny enjoyed a private dinner Monday night at NESS, chef Leo Lanussol’s acclaimed fire restaurant in the Núñez neighborhood. The artist, surrounded by a strong security detail, opted for a low-key look – glasses, a cap, a hood, and a scarf – to go unnoticed. Witnesses described him as relaxed, friendly, and in good spirits, even sharing jokes with the restaurant staff.
The menu included a tasting of Argentine wines from regions including Jujuy, Patagonia, San Juan, Mendoza, and Salta: Sauvignon Blanc Trópico Sur -El Bayeh-, Chardonnay Mainqué -Chacra-, Criolla Chica La Totora -Cara Sur-, Malbec Aluvional -Zuccardi- and Malbec Finca Las Carreras -Paco Puga-. He particularly enjoyed the squid with black huancaína, grilled bread, pork with chili crisp, rice with Lincoln cheese and broccoli, and the halva flan – ordering two extra portions to take back to his hotel. NESS, recently ranked 64th in Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025, is known for its wood-fired cooking and open kitchen concept.
A History of Argentine Performances
This isn’t Bad Bunny’s first rodeo in Argentina. He first toured the Buenos Aires suburbs in 2017, performing at the Pinar de Rocha de Morón. In 2018, he filled three nights at Luna Park. He was also part of the lineup for the 2019 Buenos Aires Trap festival, and in 2022, he sold out two shows at Vélez Sarsfield stadium.
What is Bad Bunny’s “I Should Have Taken More Photos World Tour”? This tour, which began on November 21, 2025, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is a massive undertaking, encompassing 55 cities across the globe. It marks Bad Bunny’s first return to Europe since 2019 and Latin America since his 2022 tour.
The River Plate Stadium shows are scheduled to begin with doors opening at 4 p.m., the opening act taking the stage at 7 p.m., and Bad Bunny himself expected to perform at 9 p.m. Attendees are advised to enter through specific intersections based on their ticket sector: Av. Libertador and Campos Salles for back field; Av. Libertador and Udaondo for Belgrano stalls; and Av. Alcorta and Monroe for front field tickets.
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show on February 8th wasn’t just entertainment; it was a celebration of Latin identity. Performing entirely in Spanish for over 12 minutes, he featured guests like Jessica Alba, Karol G, Cardi B, and Pedro Pascal, and included a medley of Puerto Rican songs and a powerful message about the diversity of the Americas.
The performance began with “Titi Asked Me” and continued with “Yo Perreo Sola” and “I’m Going to Take You to PR.” A surprise medley of “Gasolina” by Daddy Yankee was followed by a duet with Lady Gaga on a salsa version of “Die With Smile.” The show culminated with Bad Bunny naming countries across Latin America, surrounded by dancers carrying their flags.
