ELADIO CARRION DON KBRN TOUR 2025

Eladio has cemented himself as one of the leading faces of Trap Reggaeton in today’s music industry. Even his friend and legend Bad Bunny acknowledged this in his 2023 song “Mónaco,” saying, “Hace rato me quité del trap, yo se lo dejé a Eladio.” When that verse dropped it went viral, signaling to the entire industry that Eladio isn’t just the heir to the trap throne—he’s operating on a level of his own. His talents have been clear from the start with early hits like “3 A.M.,” “Hola Como Vas,” “Kemba Walker,” “No Te Deseo el Mal,” and countless others still trending today. With his most recent project, DON KBRN, Eladio released some of his strongest work yet, leading him to this massive tour we were lucky enough to witness. The album featured heavy hitters like Myke Towers, Young Miko, Quevedo, Cris MJ, Peso Pluma, and even Big Sean—one of Eladio’s idols. Fast forward to now, and here we are at the YouTube Theater where Eladio closed out the North American leg of his DON KBRN 2025 tour.

Walking into the venue, you couldn’t miss the die-hard fans sporting merch from his earliest tours. Hats, hoodies, and exclusive Eladio gear gave the night a hip-hop/reggaeton energy that’s rare to find in today’s Latin live scene. The seats filled quickly as fans arrived early, securing their spots for a night of nonstop hype and singing. Eladio isn’t your average artist, and his fans know to expect the kind of high-energy, larger-than-life performance he’s built his reputation on. The last time I remember hearing about Eladio in the U.S., he was performing in a small nightclub. Now, just a few years later, he’s selling out the YouTube Theater with full-scale production, a packed floor, and fans filling every single seat from top to bottom.

As the lights cut out, the crowd erupted in screams and chants. Trumpets echoed through the venue, instantly recognizable to every fan inside. Emerging from the smog and darkness, Eladio took center stage to open with “Invencible.” His music is raw, electrifying, and built to get you pumped to take on the world—and the crowd sang every lyric back word for word. From there, the party only escalated. Pyrotechnics, pounding bass, and trippy visuals fueled the energy as Eladio ran through his catalog, mixing older love songs with the newest trap anthems. At one point he jumped into the pit, handing the mic to fans who shouted the lyrics back with just as much passion. Then came the biggest surprise of the night: Big Sean stepping out for a live performance of their collab “Branzino.” Eladio shouted out Big Sean as his favorite rapper, and Sean returned the love, praising Eladio’s success and talent on stage.

Eladio’s closing night of the DON KBRN 2025 tour was nothing short of historic—packed with surprises, nostalgia, and relentless hype. His career continues to climb year after year, with every release pushing him further into global stardom. Next, he’ll take the tour across Latin America, where even bigger arenas and massive crowds are waiting to welcome him. For me, Eladio’s concert was a night to remember, and crossing him off my bucket list was the perfect ending to an unforgettable show.
