"Life is not a waste a time and time is not a waste of life. So let's stop wasting time and have the time of our lives."

Find your sharpest black-and-white suit, secure a bald cap on your head, and prepare to join "The Bald E’s” cult as Pitbull headlines both American Express's brand-new Roundhay Festival in Leeds on Friday 3 July 2026 and their BST Hyde Park festival in London on Friday 10 July 2026, both with none other than pop icon Kesha (and more as yet unannounced icons) in support. 

Whether you've grown up with his legendary catalogue - from Timber to Don’t Stop The Party, Hotel Room Service to Give Me Everything - or want to join said viral wave of fans donning bald caps in tribute to his signature look, these shows are the place to be. 

Tickets for Pitbull at Roundhay Festival and BST Hyde Park go on sale on 8th October! Sign up for tickets now. 

The hype is real: Pitbull’s 15-date sold-out Party After Dark 2025 tour saw thousands of fans embracing the “Mr Worldwide” aesthetic, sparking a movement Rolling Stone called “the only cult I’d ever want to join.” The Times agreed, writing: “I expected a good time, but nothing could’ve prepared me for the pandemonium I witnessed.”

Now, that same energy comes outdoors for two of the UK’s biggest festival stages. With Kesha on the bill - bringing her own arsenal of hits from TiK ToK to Die Young and the iconic Pitbull collab Timber - this is a summer double-header that promises chaos, confetti, and the kind of party only Mr Worldwide can deliver.

2026 is the year of Pitbull. Bald caps optional, good times guaranteed.
