Pitbull is officially returning to the road in a big way. The global hitmaker announced his I’m Back Tour on January 15, confirming a major North American run with longtime collaborator Lil Jon as a special guest.
Sharing the news on social media, Pitbull declared, “USA, I’m back,” signalling a high-energy comeback that taps into the duo’s history of chart-topping party anthems. The tour is scheduled to run through spring and summer 2026, marking one of the rapper’s most extensive outings in recent years.
The tour is set to kick off on May 14 in West Palm Beach, Florida. From there, it will travel across major cities, including Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Toronto, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Kansas City, before concluding on September 26 in Shakopee, Minnesota. Organisers say more dates may be announced as demand builds.
Pitbull’s concerts are known not just for their music but also for fan participation. In recent years, audiences have embraced wearing bald caps as a playful tribute to the artist’s signature look. The rapper has said the gesture creates a powerful bond with his audience and elevates the live experience beyond a typical performance.
Speaking to theBBC in June 2025, Pitbull said that seeing fans embrace the moment means everything to him. He described it as a symbol of connection, energy, and appreciation that goes deeper than the music itself. After 25 years in the industry, he said seeing fans of every age and background join in remains priceless.
With Lil Jon bringing his trademark hype to the stage, the I’m Back Tour is shaping up to be a nostalgia-driven yet fresh celebration of Pitbull’s enduring impact on global pop and hip-hop culture.
