It’s official: Pitbull, the Cuban-American superstar known as "Mr. Worldwide," is making a triumphant return to the stage in 2026 with his much-anticipated “I’m Back Tour.” Announced on January 15—which also happened to be his 45th birthday, according to Billboard—the tour marks a bold new chapter for one of the most omnipresent figures in Latine and global pop music. Fans across North America and Europe are buzzing with excitement, as the Grammy-winning artist prepares to deliver what’s being billed as an electrifying, career-spanning live experience. And he’s not coming alone—longtime collaborator and fellow Grammy winner Lil Jon is joining as a special guest, promising a party-packed lineup that will have audiences on their feet from start to finish.
The “I’m Back Tour” kicks off on May 14, 2026, in West Palm Beach, Florida, at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre. From there, Pitbull and Lil Jon will crisscross the country, hitting 35 cities across North America in a whirlwind of energy, dance anthems, and unmistakable Miami flair. Major stops include Tampa (May 16), Charleston (May 17), Raleigh (May 19), Charlotte (May 20), Houston (May 22), and Dallas (May 23), before heading west to Phoenix (May 27), Chula Vista (May 29), and Los Angeles (May 30). The tour continues through June with dates in Salt Lake City, Wheatland, and Mountain View, before resuming in August with shows in Bristow, Virginia Beach, and a slew of cities up and down the East Coast and Midwest, wrapping up on September 26 in Shakopee, Minnesota.
For those eager to snag tickets, there’s a clear roadmap: the artist presale begins Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 10 a.m. local time, with general ticket sales opening two days later on Friday, January 30, at 10 a.m. local time, as reported by Live Nation. Fans can sign up for the presale at livemu.sc/pitbull by January 26 at 10 p.m. local time, ensuring they don’t miss out on what’s shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest concert events.
Pitbull’s return to the road comes after a string of high-profile cultural moments that have kept him firmly in the public eye. In 2024, an instrumental cover of his chart-topping single “Give Me Everything” was featured in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton, introducing his music to a whole new audience. The following year, he was humorously impersonated by Latina drag queen Jorgeous during the “Snatch Game” segment on season 10 of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. These moments underscore Pitbull’s enduring appeal and the way his persona has become woven into the fabric of pop culture—sometimes in the most unexpected places.
But it’s on stage where Pitbull truly shines. According to a press release cited by Billboard, the “I’m Back Tour” promises "an electrifying live experience packed with career-spanning hits, instantly recognizable anthems, and nonstop party energy." That’s no idle boast. Over the course of his career, Pitbull has racked up an impressive string of No. 1 hits—including “Give Me Everything” (featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack, and Nayer), “Fireball,” “Hotel Room Service,” “Feel This Moment” (with Christina Aguilera), and “Timber” (with Kesha). His concerts are legendary for their high-octane atmosphere, blending hip-hop, dance, and Latin influences into a show that feels like a global block party.
The numbers back up the hype. Pitbull has grossed over $250 million and sold more than 4.7 million tickets worldwide, according to Billboard. His ability to draw crowds across continents has earned him the nickname "Mr. Worldwide," and this upcoming tour looks set to reinforce that reputation.
Joining Pitbull on tour is Lil Jon, a Grammy-winning rapper and record producer whose collaborations with Pitbull over the years have produced some of the most memorable party anthems of the past decade. Their chemistry on stage is undeniable, and fans can expect a setlist loaded with hits, energy, and maybe even a few surprises along the way.
The North America leg of the “I’m Back Tour” reads like a who’s who of major concert venues. In addition to the opening shows in Florida, the tour will make stops at iconic locations such as the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, the Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, and the Northwell at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York. Other cities on the itinerary include Hershey, Syracuse, Hartford, Mansfield, Bangor, Saratoga Springs, Holmdel, Clarkston, Grand Rapids, East Troy, Tinley Park, Cincinnati, Cuyahoga Falls, St. Louis, Noblesville, Rogers, Kansas City, and Shakopee.
The excitement isn’t limited to North America. Pitbull is also slated to take his “I’m Back Tour” to Europe, with dates in Stockholm, Werchter, Belfast, Glasgow, Leeds, Dublin, Limerick, London, Nice, Arnhem, Dusseldorf, Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, Riga, and Kaunas, among others. These European shows, some of which are part of major festival lineups, further cement Pitbull’s international appeal and his status as a truly global performer.
Looking back, Pitbull’s career is a testament to the power of reinvention and relentless positivity. From his early days in Miami’s hip-hop scene to his evolution into a global pop icon, he’s managed to stay ahead of the curve—collaborating with artists across genres, embracing new trends, and always keeping the party going. His music, often described as a fusion of Latin rhythms, dance beats, and infectious hooks, has made him a staple at clubs, parties, and now, once again, on the world’s biggest stages.
For fans, the “I’m Back Tour” is more than just a concert—it’s a celebration. It’s a chance to relive the hits that defined a generation and to make new memories with one of music’s most dynamic performers. As Pitbull himself declared on Instagram, “USA, I’m BACK!!” The message is clear: after years of solo touring success, Mr. Worldwide is ready to deliver another unforgettable run.
