Bad Bunny to kick off 2024's "Most Wanted Tour" in Salt Lake City

Catch up quick: Bad Bunny's fame has catapulted to new heights since he last performed in front of a Utah audience in 2018.

• He's slated to appear on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend as the episode's host and musical guest.
• He co-starred in the action movie "Bullet Train" alongside Brad Pitt in 2022 and played a minor role in the 2023 biographical drama "Cassandro," which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this year.
• His last two tours — neither of which stopped in Utah — grossed a combined $435 million, per Billboard.

Between the lines: A global artist like Bad Bunny performing in Salt Lake City is gratifying after Taylor Swift's and Beyoncé's stadium tours skipped our area, giving residents major cases of FOMO.

The intrigue: The three-time Grammy winner made history this month after his new Latin trap record became Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day so far this year.

• Since its Oct. 13 release, the album has amassed more than 900 million streams.

Zoom in: After his 2022 summer album "Un Verano Sin Ti" leaned on Caribbean and reggae rhythms, his latest release takes you back to his roots as a Latin trap artist.

Yes, but: Good luck snagging tickets, folks.

• In an effort to deter scalpers, fans have until 10pm (MT) on Sunday, Oct. 22 to register for tickets in one of the 31 cities where he'll perform.
• Once registration closes, there will be a random drawing to receive a code that grants access to the sale on Wednesday, Oct. 25.
• People who don't get selected in the drawing will be placed on a waiting list for the opportunity to purchase tickets.
