Pitbull will perform at Puskás Arena next summer. The Grammy-winning, Cuban-American rapper will give his first Hungarian concert on July 21, 2026, before which Lil Jon will warm up the audience.
The world star performer is known for hits such as Give Me Everything and Timber. Pitbull's I'm Back! tour follows his previous concert series, Party After Dark, which filled arenas, organizer Live Nation told MTI on Monday.
The new tour awaits the audience on an even larger stage than before, with impressive visual effects and spectacular pyrotechnics. Pitbull will be accompanied by his band, the Agents, and his dancers, the Most Bad Ones, in the show.
The concert series will kick off in Stockholm on June 23, 2026, and will then visit Belfast, Glasgow, Dublin, London, Nice, Düsseldorf, Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, and Riga, before concluding in Kaunas on July 31.
Pitbull, aka Armando Christian Pérez, has billions of audio streams and video views, and hundreds of gold and platinum albums; his trademark "Eeeeeeeeyoooooo" cry is one of forty sound trademarks officially registered by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Pitbull: a multi-talented artist behind the simple name
Beyond music, Pitbull has built a diverse and expanding business portfolio. He founded the record label Mr. 305 and the Voli 305 Vodka brand, and launched the SiriusXM radio channel Globalization, which broadcasts rhythmic/dance music.
He recently partnered with Florida International University (FIU), which renamed its athletic stadium Pitbull Stadium, making it the first sports facility in America to be named after an artist. Pitbull is an advocate for education: he co-founded Slam! (Sports Leadership Arts Management), a tuition-free public school network that is considered a leading educational organization worldwide and currently serves more than 10,000 students in fourteen American schools.
The rapper collaborated with Bon Jovi last year on the song Now or Never. In the 2000s, he quickly found himself at the top of the charts, moving from underground hip-hop to more pop genres mixed with Latin rhythms.
His 2009 song I Know You Want Me became the most viewed video of the year on YouTube. From then on, hits and collaborations with the world's most famous artists followed, including Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Chris Brown, Shakira, Afrojack and Christina Aguilera.
