With Lil Jon’s high-octane set joining the bill, the I’m Back Tour promises his signature full-throttle celebration across amphitheaters and stadiums nationwide.

Festival Date

Armando Christian Pérez, globally known as Pitbull, invites disruption on a global scale as a GRAMMY Award-winning independent international superstar, education ambassador, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. With billions of audio streams and video views, along with hundreds of gold and platinum certifications, his career stands as one of the most impressive in music history. Pitbull’s signature “EEEEEEEYOOOOOO” grito (yell) is one of fewer than 40 sound trademarks protected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Beyond music, Pitbull has built a diverse and expanding business portfolio. He founded the Mr. 305 record label and Voli 305 Vodka, and launched Globalization, a SiriusXM channel featuring global rhythmic hits. He recently made history by partnering with Florida International University (FIU) to rename its football stadium “Pitbull Stadium,” the first athletic venue in the U.S. named after an artist. Pitbull is also a passionate advocate for education. He co-founded SLAM! (Sports Leadership Arts Management), a tuition-free public charter school network recognized globally as a leading education organization, currently serving over 10,000 students across 14 schools in the U.S. In 2024, Pitbull teamed up with rock legend Bon Jovi for the powerful track “Now or Never,” blending his signature high-energy sound with Bon Jovi’s anthemic rock style. The unexpected collaboration quickly gained global traction, further proving Pitbull’s ability to transcend genres and generations. In 2025, Pitbull launched a high-energy European tour, igniting arenas across the continent and drawing massive crowds — including a viral explosion of fans proudly wearing bald caps and dubbing themselves “The Bald E’s” in honor of the artist’s signature look and larger-than-life persona. This fan movement has taken social media by storm, celebrating Pitbull’s iconic image with humor, creativity, and unity. With no signs of slowing down, Pitbull is continuing his global tour, with Australia as the next electrifying stop on his worldwide journey. Pitbull continues to push boundaries and inspire millions around the world, leaving a profound cultural impact and cementing a legacy that spans entertainment, business, education, and beyond.

For the last decade plus, the words “YEAHHH,” “OKAYY,” and “WHATTT” have been synonymous with multi-

platinum, Grammy award winning artist Lil Jon. He has been one of the most prominent figures in music and pop

culture alike, performing for hundreds of thousands of fans with Usher & Ludacris, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Pitbull, TLC

(on FOX’s American Idol), Becky G, Offset, LMFAO, Too $hort and E-40 just to name a few. Known best for his role in creating and popularizing the southern movement and lifestyle known as Crunk, Lil Jon delivered a string of regional hits (in the 90’s) with the East Side Boyz eventually becoming a national force in 2001 thanks to the tracks “Bia Bia” and “Put Yo Hood Up.” Their 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, crafting groundbreaking hits for a diverse array of artists such as E-40, Usher, Ciara, The Ying Yang Twins, Ice Cube and more. He’s also worked with will.i.am, Miley Cyrus, Britney

Spears, Bret Michaels, Travis Barker, Jennifer Lopez, Machine Gun Kelly, DJ Snake and many more. As an artist, he has sold millions of records as the frontman of Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz, whose smash hits “Get Low” and “What U Gon’ Do” have been among some of the biggest crossover hip-hop records. His consistent hitmaking has earned him legions of fans from Los Angeles to New York to the Midwest and of course his native region, the South. He has also traveled the globe DJing worldwide in places such as, but not limited to France, Germany, South Korea, China, India, Dubai, London, Mexico and Australia. Lil Jon has won 2 BMI Songwriter of the Year awards as well as scored eleven Billboard Awards (for the two hit Usher tracks “Yeah!” and “Lovers and Friends”), a Grammy, a Radio Music Award, a BET award, two MTV Video Music Awards, and an American Music Award.
