Pitbull, the Cuban-American superstar known to fans worldwide as “Mr. Worldwide,” is gearing up for a massive return to the stage with his “I’m Back Tour,” and he’s bringing along fellow Grammy-winning artist Lil Jon for the ride. The tour, which is set to crisscross North America from May through September 2026, promises to deliver high-octane performances, chart-topping hits, and the kind of party atmosphere fans have come to expect from the dynamic duo.
The North American leg of the tour kicks off on May 14, 2026, at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to FOX 5/KUSI. From there, Pitbull and Lil Jon will make stops in major cities including Tampa, Charleston, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Virginia Beach, Syracuse, and Kansas City, among many others. The tour will wrap up its North American run at the Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Minnesota on September 26, before Pitbull heads to Europe for additional performances in Sweden, Ireland, France, the U.K., Latvia, and Hungary.
For fans in Syracuse, the excitement is building for Pitbull’s return to the Empower FCU Amphitheater at Lakeview on August 26, 2026. As reported by The Daily Orange, this marks Pitbull’s second appearance at the venue, following his 2024 stop during the “Party After Dark Tour.” This time, he’ll be joined by special guest Lil Jon and Miami-based DJ Laz, who will open the show. Local radio contests and ticket giveaways have already begun to stoke anticipation, with presale tickets available starting January 28 at 10 a.m. and general sales opening January 30 at 10 a.m.
But Syracuse isn’t the only city with a buzz. In Los Angeles, fans are snapping up tickets for the May 30 show at the iconic Hollywood Bowl. According to TicketNews, tickets are on sale now through the Hollywood Bowl box office and online at ScoreBig, where a special offer gives fans 5% off with the code TICKETNEWS5. The combination of Pitbull’s global hits and Lil Jon’s infectious energy is expected to make this one of the most memorable nights on the tour.
Meanwhile, in Missouri, excitement is also running high. As highlighted by DaveO, a local contest is offering a chance to win tickets to see Pitbull and Lil Jon at the brand-new Morton Amphitheater in Riverside on September 25. The contest underscores just how much demand there is for this tour, with fans eager for a chance to be part of the action.
In Tampa, WiLD 94.1 is hosting a week-long contest from January 19 to January 23, giving listeners a shot at winning tickets to the May 16 show at MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre.

As reported by 13News Now, presale tickets for this stop go live on January 28 at 10 a.m., with general sales opening January 30. The city is preparing for a “party energy” event as Pitbull and Lil Jon bring their signature styles to the East Coast.
Pitbull’s resume speaks for itself. With over 25 million albums and 100 million singles sold worldwide, 35 Billboard Latin Music Awards, and more than 15 billion views on YouTube, he’s one of the most successful artists of his generation. His signature “EEEEEEEYOOOOOO” yell is even one of fewer than 40 trademarked sounds protected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He’s also a fixture on SiriusXM satellite radio, hosting his own channel and frequently collaborating with DJ Laz, who will join select dates on the tour.
Lil Jon, no stranger to the spotlight himself, is a Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum-selling artist and producer credited with popularizing the “Crunk” style of music. He’s worked with a who’s-who of the music industry, from Usher and Ludacris to Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube. His hit “Turn Down for What” with DJ Snake went eight times platinum, cementing his place in music history. According to FOX 5/KUSI, Lil Jon’s high-energy performances and collaborations with Pitbull, including songs like “Krazy” and “The Anthem,” are a major draw for fans.
Pitbull’s most recent single, “RÁPIDOS Y FURIOSOS 11,” a collaboration with Dani Flow, dropped on January 14, 2026, demonstrating that the Miami native has no intention of slowing down. His last tour, the “Party After Dark Tour,” was the largest solo tour of his career, according to Live Nation, and the upcoming “I’m Back Tour” looks poised to surpass it in both scale and spectacle.
Tickets for the “I’m Back Tour” are available through a variety of channels, including Live Nation, the Hollywood Bowl box office, and local venues. Fans can sign up for artist presale tickets until January 26, with presale access beginning January 28 and general sales starting January 30. For those hoping to score free tickets, radio contests and giveaways are being held in several cities, including Tampa and Riverside.
With an itinerary that spans coast to coast and promises unforgettable nights of music, dancing, and celebration, Pitbull and Lil Jon’s “I’m Back Tour” is shaping up to be one of the hottest tickets of 2026. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just looking for a night out filled with energy and hits, this tour is set to deliver the party Mr. Worldwide is famous for.
