Bad Bunny review – dynamic Latin superstar hosts thrilling party

Midway through the largest British concert ever staged by a Latin‑American artist, a giant cartoon toad appears on the screens and admonishes those who can’t speak Spanish: “You’re missing the message.” Bad Bunny’s long between‑song monologues, delivered in his native tongue, range from mentions of the recent earthquake in Venezuela to pointed remarks about people and places; his current world tour declines to take in the United States on the grounds it might attract the attention of ICE, an understandable caution given the tantrum thrown by Donald Trump over the singer’s Super Bowl headline spot, a reaction that helped propel his albums into the British Top 10.

Those Spanish addresses are received far more warmly than a solitary announcement in English, and the show makes clear you don’t need to understand every lyric to see why he is a global star. The concert splits into two distinct halves.
