A Redditor threw it back with a wild Coachella 2023 snap — they rocked a giant Bad Bunny mascot head around the polo fields and posted it “in honor of today’s Super Bowl performance.” The post (u/CampinHiker) racked up upvotes and a stream of comments from folks who remember the sight — and the security who just… let them through.
Short version: the costume made the rounds. The poster remembers car-camping security doing a double-take (“alrighty any glass or..Whoa WTF is that”) and then waving them through. Festival-goers in the thread were hyped — some recognized the costume in-person, others said it blew up on social.
Notable comments from the thread:
– “Omg I remember seeing you!!”
– “Seeing you at the dolab early on day one tripped me out. I knew I had not taken anything yet but your head totally fucked me up.🤣”
– “I wish he waited to headline. He’s had so many hits since.”
– A reminder that Puerto Ricans are US citizens and have served in the US military since 1899
Why it matters: festival cosplay and mascots are a big part of the vibe — they make for great photos, memes, and memories. With Bad Bunny still one of the biggest names in music (and a recent Super Bowl spotlight), festival throwbacks like this get another life on the timeline.
Quick tips for anyone planning a festival costume: check the festival’s prop and costume rules, avoid glass or anything that could be a safety issue, and be cool with security — they’ve got to keep everyone safe.
