CHARLOTTE — Tickets to Bad Bunny’s concert in Charlotte could quickly become “most wanted.”

Live Nation announced the 47-date tour on Thursday, including a show at the Spectrum Center on May 10, 2024.

The 31-city North America arena tour kicks off in February. Live Nation describes the “Most Wanted Tour” as “an experience curated for day-one fans” and “a rollercoaster of explicit lyrics that hones in on the star’s trap roots.”

Original fans of the Puerto Rican artist were ecstatic that his new album, “nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana,” marked his return to the genre that put him on the map.

According to Variety, the image in the tour poster is an old shot of Bad Bunny from his days as a trap artist. The poster also reads “Only Trap” and “If you’re not a real fan, don’t come.”

The three-time Grammy winner is often credited with bringing Spanish-language trap to mainstream music internationally, and the numbers reflect that.

His newest album became the most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 so far on Spotify. Its lead track “MONACO” hit No. 1 in 16 countries on Spotify.

He didn’t tour this year and hasn’t dropped an album since “Un Verano Sin Ti” in 2022.
