Bad Bunny's Casita: The Most Coveted Spot at His Milan Concert

other · 2026-07-21

The cancellation of Bad Bunny's July 17, 2026 concert at Ippodromo SNAI La Maura in Milan due to a severe thunderstorm disappointed approximately 80,000 fans, but none more than those who had been selected for the exclusive Casita. The Casita, a pastel pink and yellow structure reminiscent of a typical Puerto Rican home, served as a secondary stage where Bad Bunny performed for about half the show, surrounded by a mix of celebrities and randomly chosen fans. Selection for the Casita was a mysterious process, with staff member Jeremy Villanueva becoming a social media celebrity for his role. Fans like Jacopo Castellini and Victoria Frachessa described being chosen through luck or direct contact with Villanueva. The Casita's design, inspired by working-class homes in South America, sparked criticism over its elitist and sexist selection criteria, with most guests being young women in flashy outfits. Despite the cancellation, some fans managed to sneak into the Casita area during the evacuation. The Casita first appeared during Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show in Santa Clara, California on February 8, 2026.
