Pitbull has announced his return to the road with the I’m Back Tour, a major North American run featuring special guest Lil Jon.
The tour celebrates Pitbull’s birthday and follows a series of successful global outings for the Miami-born artist, who continues to rank among the most reliable live draws in pop and hip-hop.
Produced by Live Nation, the North American leg launches May 14 in West Palm Beach, Florida, and spans amphitheaters and stadiums across the U.S. and Canada before concluding Sept. 26 in Shakopee, Minnesota. The run includes a Southern California stop at Hollywood Bowl on May 30, marking one of the tour’s marquee dates.
Tickets for the Los Angeles date and all North American shows will be available through an artist presale beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, followed by a general onsale at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 30 at livenation.com. VIP packages will also be offered, with details available through vipnation.com.
According to Billboard, Pitbull has grossed more than $250 million and sold over 4.7 million tickets worldwide during his touring career. His most recent outing, the Party After Dark Tour, became the biggest solo tour of his career, running more than 50 dates across 13 countries. The I’m Back Tour builds on that momentum, pairing Pitbull’s catalog of global hits with Lil Jon’s high-energy set.
The tour announcement follows Pitbull’s recently revealed Europe and U.K. leg, which will see him perform in stadiums and large outdoor venues overseas this summer. In addition to his touring work, Pitbull continues to highlight his involvement with SLAM! charter schools, an education initiative he has long supported, using music and live events as a platform to promote youth empowerment and community engagement.
