PITBULL - I’m Back
Special Guest: Lil Jon
Additional arena concerts announced for fall 2026 in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland
Global superstar Pitbull (Mr. 305 / Mr. Worldwide) is bringing the party back to Europe this fall with newly confirmed arena dates for his major I'M BACK Tour, in response to continued high demand from fans in the region. After a spectacular series of international performances and a viral fan movement that has transformed arenas into a sea of “soon caps,” Pitbull will once again deliver an electrifying, cross-generational live experience: packed with hits from throughout his career, instantly recognizable anthems, and non-stop party energy. In November, Pitbull will be performing in Zurich, Dortmund, Vienna, and Stuttgart. None other than Lil Jon has been confirmed as the special guest.
Pitbull remains one of the most consistent live performers of his generation and is also a dominant force on tour, with several top rankings in tour rankings. According to Billboard Boxscore, Pitbull has grossed more than $250 million worldwide and sold over 4.7 million tickets throughout his career. His latest tour, the Party After Dark Tour, was his biggest solo tour to date with over 50 dates in 13 countries, cementing Mr. Worldwide's reputation for guaranteed full-throttle partying and unforgettable fan moments – night after night.
In addition to the newly announced arena dates, Pitbull will headline American Express presents BST Hyde Park on July 10, 2026. An official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ record attempt is planned during his headlining set: the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps—a fan-initiated phenomenon affectionately known as “The Bald E's.”
ABOUT PITBULL
Armando Christian Pérez, known worldwide as Pitbull, is a GRAMMY® Award-winning, independent international superstar, educational ambassador, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker who stands for change on a grand scale. With billions of audio streams and video views, as well as hundreds of gold and platinum awards, his career is one of the most impressive in music history. Beyond music, Pitbull has built a diverse and ever-growing business portfolio. He founded the Mr. 305 label and Voli 305 Vodka, and launched Globalization, a SiriusXM channel featuring rhythmic hits from around the world. Pitbull is also passionate about education. He co-founded SLAM!

In 2024, Pitbull collaborated with Bon Jovi on the track “Now or Never,” which entered the Billboard charts, combining global dance energy with classic rock and underscoring his cross-generational appeal. That momentum continued in 2025: sold-out arenas in Europe and Australia, fans showing up in full Pitbull-inspired looks, and major media outlets picking up on the phenomenon. In January 2026, after a series of sold-out shows worldwide, Pitbull announced his I'M BACK Tour through North America.
ABOUT LIL JON
For over a decade, the exclamations “YEAHHH,” “OKAYY,” and “WHATTT” have been inextricably linked to multi-platinum and GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Lil Jon. He is one of the most influential figures in music and pop culture, having performed in front of hundreds of thousands of fans alongside Usher & Ludacris, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Pitbull, TLC (on FOX's American Idol), Becky G, Offset, LMFAO, Too $hort, and E40, to name a few. Lil Jon is particularly well known for his role in shaping and popularizing the Southern US movement and lifestyle known as crunk. In the 90s, he had a string of regional hits with the East Side Boyz before they finally broke through nationally in 2001 with the tracks “Bia Bia” and “Put Yo Hood Up.” His iconic albums include “We Still Crunk!”, “Put Yo Hood Up”, “Kings of Crunk” and “Crunk Juice”. Lil Jon has a long list of platinum-selling productions to his name and has created groundbreaking hits for a wide range of artists, including E40, Usher, Ciara, The Ying Yang Twins, Ice Cube and many more. He has also worked with will.i.am, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Bret Michaels, Travis Barker, Jennifer Lopez, Machine Gun Kelly, DJ Snake, and numerous others. As an artist, he sold millions of records as the frontman of Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz; their mega-hits “Get Low” and “What U Gon' Do” are among the biggest cross-genre hip-hop successes. His consistently successful output earned him fans from Los Angeles to New York to the Midwest—and, of course, in his home region, the South. He also toured worldwide as a DJ, including in France, Germany, South Korea, China, India, Dubai, London, Mexico, and Australia. Lil Jon won two BMI Songwriter of the Year Awards and also picked up eleven Billboard Awards (for the two Usher hits “Yeah!” and “Lovers and Friends”), a Grammy, a Radio Music Award, a BET Award, two MTV Video Music Awards, and an American Music Award.
