Spanish rocker Bunbury has reacted to a mix-up that recently went viral on social media. “Not long ago, it came out somewhere that some girls got confused and, instead of buying tickets for Bad Bunny, they bought tickets for Bunbury,” the artist said on Tuesday (April 14) during an appearance on the show La Revuelta on TVE.
The anecdote traces back to a TikTok video published on Feb. 9 in which the young women laugh as they recount how they mistakenly purchased tickets for Bunbury’s Dec. 4 show at the Movistar Arena in Madrid, instead of tickets for one of Bad Bunny’s residency shows scheduled from May 30 to June 15 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in the city.
According to Bunbury, the confusion might have stemmed from the similarity between their names. “I guess they saw the B and the Y …,” he noted.
Rather than treating the situation as a problem, Bunbury responded with humor when the host asked him for a message for the fans: “Well, welcome to the concert.” As for the possibility of refunding the tickets, he added, “I’m not planning on giving them back.”
Despite the lighthearted tone, the artist defended the experience of his live performances, saying, “I think if they come, they’re going to enjoy it.”
Billboard Español reached out to Bunbury’s representatives for comment, but did not receive a response by press time.
The moment also sparked a brief reflection on his relationship with social media. Bunbury admitted that he avoids exposing himself to digital opinions, especially negative ones. “You read 100 good comments, and then there’s one that says ‘terrible’ and that one weighs on you more than the others,” he explained.
During the same conversation, the artist recalled that he recently crossed paths with Bad Bunny at the Latin Grammys, where they were seated near each other, though he didn’t get a chance to say hello.
