Joining him as a special guest will be his longtime collaborator and friend Lil Jon, who will open the show.

Tickets go on general sale from 24 October, while presales for Pitbull’s official fan club members and Live Nation subscribers begin on 22 October, according to Telex.

Organisers shared a light-hearted message for fans: “Get your bald caps ready!” — a reference to the viral trend of concertgoers donning bald caps and sunglasses to mimic Pitbull’s signature look.

A Spectacular Show Expected at Puskás Aréna

According to Live Nation, the I’m Back! tour will be Pitbull’s most ambitious production yet, featuring a large-scale stage design, dramatic visual effects, and pyrotechnics. He’ll perform with his live band, The Agents, and his renowned dance crew, The Most Bad Ones, promising an energetic show packed with hits and Latin rhythms.

The European leg of the tour kicks off in Stockholm on 23 June 2026, visiting major cities including London, Prague, Warsaw, and Riga, before wrapping up in Kaunas at the end of July.

After a Cancelled Show, Pitbull Finally Comes to Hungary

Pitbull was originally set to perform in Hungary in 2018 at the Fezen Festival in Székesfehérvár, but that concert was cancelled just days before the event. His 2026 show in Budapest will therefore mark his long-awaited Hungarian debut, giving local and international fans alike the chance to experience Mr Worldwide live.

From Miami to the World

Born Armando Christian Pérez, Pitbull first broke into the early 2000s American hip-hop scene before becoming an international star thanks to his blend of Latin, pop, and dance influences.

His chart-topping hits – including “Give Me Everything”, “Timber”, “I Know You Want Me”, and “Fireball” – have earned him hundreds of gold and platinum records and billions of views worldwide.

Beyond music, Pitbull is also a successful entrepreneur and education advocate. He founded his own record label under the Mr. 305 brand, launched Voli 305 Vodka, and created the Globalization radio channel on SiriusXM. He’s also the co-founder of SLAM! (Sports Leadership Arts Management), a U.S. charter school network that now educates more than 10,000 students.

In recent years, Pitbull has continued to collaborate with major artists, including Bon Jovi on the track “Now or Never”. His upcoming I’m Back! tour is already being billed by fans as “Pitbull Summer 2026” – a title that Budapest concertgoers will soon help bring to life.
