J Balvin’s return to Medellín was nothing short of legendary. On Nov. 29, the global superstar took over Estadio Atanasio Girardot with a massive, immersive concert that felt more like a cultural takeover than a typical tour stop.

From the moment doors opened, the energy in the city was unmatched. Medellín saw a spike in tourism, flight searches, and local business activity — proof that Balvin’s impact goes far beyond music.

A 360° Mega-Show With Iconic Guests

Balvin performed on a full 360-degree stage surrounded by tens of thousands of fans, delivering hit after hit with a lineup that looked like a who’s-who of Latin and global music. His surprise guests included:

  • Daddy Yankee

  • 50 Cent

  • Ryan Castro

  • Yandel

  • Tito El Bambino

  • Lennox

  • DJ Snake

  • Farruko

  • Chencho

  • Feid

  • Maluma

  • …and even more artists who turned the night into a historic gathering.

A Citywide Celebration

The show wasn’t just a concert — it activated the entire city:

  • Medellín Metro ran special visuals and extended service

  • Local vendors and artisans were tapped to participate

  • Production crews and dancers were largely Colombian

  • Tourism and hotel occupancy saw a noticeable lift

It was a love letter to the city that shaped him — and Medellín responded by showing up in full force.

Beyond Flowers: New Capsule Drop

Balvin also used the moment to unveil Beyond Flowers: Ciudad Primavera, a new capsule collection developed with Colombian leather brand Véle. The launch blended fashion, art, and identity — right in the heart of the city that inspires much of his work.

Next Stop: Bogotá

J Balvin isn’t slowing down. After Medellín’s historic night, he’s gearing up for another massive show on Dec. 13 at Estadio El Campín in Bogotá. If Medellín was any indication, Colombia’s capital is about to witness something unforgettable.
