Bad Bunny performed the first of two concerts in San Juan to close his global 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' tour at the Hiram Bithorn stadium. The production team for the tour announced that the final concert begins at 6:00 PM sharp without waiting for late arrivals.

The stadium must be full by 5:00 PM to ensure the show starts on time, according to the production team. Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio stated during the event that while he cannot provide water or electricity to those lacking it, he can bring joy and pride to the people of Puerto Rico. Bad Bunny criticized Puerto Rico's infrastructure crises, stating, 'I can't bring water or electricity to those who lack it, but I can bring joy and hope for the people to fight for their land'.

The concert included a tribute to Puerto Rican music, with Christian Nieves performing 'Boricua en la Luna' and a salsa remix of 'El Club' to celebrate cultural identity. A protest was announced during the concert at the Hiram Bithorn Arena in San Juan against the Proyecto Esencia development. The combined fiscal impact of the two concerts is estimated at approximately $3.3 million, with $3.1 million attributed to the Government of Puerto Rico and $243,000 to the City of San Juan. Two closing tour concerts by Bad Bunny scheduled for the Estadio Hiram Bithorn in San Juan are projected to generate approximately $24.4 million in economic activity.
