ENGIE Stadium has set a new attendance record after hosting two sold-out Bad Bunny concerts across the weekend, drawing close to 90,000 fans.
The back-to-back shows were Australian-exclusive dates on the artist’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour, with Sydney Showground saying the result reinforced the venue’s position in the local stadium concert market.
What happened at ENGIE Stadium?
- Two sold-out Bad Bunny concerts were held across the weekend.
- Attendance was close to 90,000 across both shows, according to Sydney Showground.
- The venue said it was the most significant touring event it has staged to date.
Darryl Jeffrey, Sydney Showground General Manager, said the result reflected “the strength of the venue and the evolution of Sydney’s stadium market”.
“To host two sold-out Bad Bunny concerts, exclusively in Australia, is a landmark moment for ENGIE Stadium. It demonstrates the confidence global promoters and artists have in our venue and in our ability to deliver major international events at scale,” Jeffrey said.
“For a concert of Bad Bunny’s scale, ENGIE Stadium offered the perfect balance of atmosphere and intimacy. Wherever you stood in the audience, you were part of the party – and that’s what makes our venue so unique.”

Why it matters for Sydney’s live events market
Sydney Showground said the weekend underscored Sydney’s ability to attract global touring artists, with Jeffrey positioning the concerts as a signal of demand for large international acts in the city.
“These events are about more than just two nights of incredible performances,” Jeffrey said. “They signal that ENGIE Stadium is firmly established as a venue capable of delivering global-tier moments and that there is demand for large international acts here in Sydney.
“As Sydney’s only independent stadium, we operate with agility and a partnership-first mindset. That independence allows us to tailor commercial models, collaborate closely with promoters, and move decisively in a competitive touring environment – ultimately delivering a world-class experience fit for a world-class performer.”
The venue said it has expanded its major event portfolio in recent years across international concerts, professional sport, and large-scale entertainment experiences, including Good Things, Knockout Outdoor, Green Day and Pearl Jam.
