Sweating in the stands at Bad Bunny in the Gelredome: ‘We had these tickets for a year, so of course we’re not going to cancel’

Fans attending Bad Bunny's concert at the Gelredome in Arnhem faced sweltering conditions, with temperatures soaring on Tuesday evening. Even before the main act, Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny, took the stage, the arena was intensely hot. A thermometer brought by one attendee registered 32.1 degrees Celsius with 83 percent humidity at 8 p.m.

To ensure safety, organizers implemented several measures. A spokesperson confirmed that visitors were exceptionally allowed to bring a 500 ml bottle with a cap, which could be refilled at restrooms. The organization also reportedly installed additional fans. "We are keeping a close eye on the temperature, it is a hot day," the spokesperson stated.

Many attendees came prepared for the heat, with a large portion carrying hand fans. Some even brought portable fans. Beau, 29, showcased a unique model with a built-in misting function for extra cooling, purchased specifically for concerts and festivals. He admitted to being "a little" worried about the weather forecast but stressed that they had purchased tickets a year ago and "of course, we weren't going to cancel."

Bad Bunny himself, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, appeared unfazed by the heat. He took the stage precisely at 8 p.m., dressed in a three-piece suit, ready to perform for his fans despite the challenging temperatures.
